| Genral Info: |
Peridot has been mined on St. John's Island (known in Arabic as Zibergit) for more than 3000 years. At one time it was known as Topazion and the gem was topazos. Now the name topaz is given to an entirely non-related gem. Peridot may be from the Arabic, "faridat" which means gem. |
