Gemstone Information
* Peridot was called "evening emerald" by the Ancient Romans.
* Peridot is the gem-quality olivine mineral. The mineral, olivine, is a silicate, and its crystal structure is made up of single isolated tetrahedral crystals.
* Pure Peridot is rare, as it is unstable when released to Earth's environment, befitting to Peridot's reaction to Earth.
* Olivine is often found in meteorites, though not exclusively, possibly a reference to how Peridot became stranded on earth in her escape pod.
* The gem Peridot is often very small. Peridot, with her Limb Enhancers is around Pearl's height, whereas without it, she is inches taller than Steven.
* Peridot, along with alexandrite and sardonyx, is the birthstone of August. It is the planetary stone of Saturn.
* Peridot is one of the few known gemstones that can be found only in one color, although the shades of green may vary from light yellowish to dark brownish-green.
* Peridot is often associated with good luck, peace and success.
* An olivine's (and, by extension, Peridot's) chemical formula is (Mg, Fe)2SiO4, where the iron and magnesium combination gives it a light to olive green color. It's composed of:
** Forsterite (Mg2SiO4).
** Fayalite (Fe2SiO4).
* Peridot is sometimes referred to as "the morning emerald" or "poor man's emerald".
* Peridot is an idiochromatic gem, meaning its color comes from basic chemical composition of the mineral itself.
* Peridot is also associated with power, influence, healing,
