Peridot Gemstone Beads

Peridot, a gem variety of the mineral olivine, enchants with its striking green hues, ranging from pale light green to a rich, deep olive. Its color comes from the presence of iron ions, and it is this unique formation that makes each bead of Peridot distinct and vibrant. Found primarily in areas abundant with volcanic activity, Peridot crystals form in magma, making their way to the surface through the forces of earthquakes and tectonic movements.
