The most beautiful stones come from the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan. However, the peridot as a gemstone also exists in Myanmar, China, the USA, Africa and Australia. Stones from East Burma, now known as Myanmar, have a vivid light green and fine inclusions with a silky shine to them.

Der Peridotstein ist wirklich ein wunderschöner Edelstein, besitze leider nicht all zu viele Schmuckstücke mit so einem Stein da sie leider etwas zu teuer sind.
“The Peridot is truly a beautiful gem, unfortunately do not many jewels with such a stone as they are unfortunately somewhat expensive.“
