Peridot gemstone pendant faceted 925 silver 14x15 mm

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one color—the characteristic olive green caused by iron within the mineral. It belongs to the olivine group and is brought to the Earth's surface through volcanic activity. Hildegard von Bingen mentioned it in her healing texts as early as the Middle Ages. The faceting of this pendant brings out its warm green hue with particular vibrancy. Set in 925 sterling silver.

Stone size: approx. 14 x 15 mm
Cut: Faceted
