Peridot ring

Gem-quality olivine, typically forsterite–fayalite solid solution ((Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄)

AI-generated identification · may be incorrect

The small oval-cut stone appears yellow-green with a vitreous luster, consistent with peridot; olivine has orthorhombic crystals, Mohs hardness 6.5–7, and no prominent cleavage. The setting is metal and is not geological material.

Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Peridot crystallizes in magnesium-rich igneous rocks, especially basalt and peridotite, and can also occur in meteorites. The image does not establish the stone’s geological age or provenance.

Uses & applications

Used mainly in jewelry; olivine is also studied and used in some industrial and environmental applications.

Geological facts

Peridot is the gem variety of olivine and has been prized since antiquity; its color comes largely from iron within the crystal.

Field identification & locations

The visible olive-green hue and faceted cut suggest peridot, but image alone cannot confirm identity; gemological testing is needed to distinguish it from similar stones or simulants. Peridot occurs in places including Arizona, Pakistan, Myanmar, and volcanic islands.
