PERIDOT
Members of the olivine family, peridots are a bright, clear, almost lime green. They were most popular in the Victorian era when they were set in gold, mounted alone or with seed pearls, and used for delicate pendants or small brooches. They were usually cut in emerald style
for brooches and pendeloque (pearshaped) for pendants. A variety found in Arizona is golden brown.
