Peridot Drop Style Chip Beads

Peridot Gemstone Drop Style Chips (~100pce Strand) - 40cm/16'" Strand.

Peridot is a rare type of Olivine and one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one colour, green. The intensity of the green depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure. The most treasured colour is a dark olive-green. Peridot is sometimes mistaken for emeralds and was even called "Evening Emerald" by the ancient Romans.
