Facts about Peridot Peridot is the gem quality variety of forsterite olivine. The name of the gemstone is believed to come from either the French word peritot meaning 'unclear' or the Arabic word faridat meaning 'gem'. Peridots are one of the few gemstones that come in only one color. The depth of green depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure, and varies from yellow-green to olive to brownish green. Peridot is also often referred to as "poor man's emerald". Gem quality peridot is rather rare. Peridot crystals have been found in iron-nickel meteorites. It is found in Brazil, Upper Burma, MinasGerais and Egypt .
