Peridot is a transparent, olive-green variety of the mineral olivine and is one of the few gemstones that occur exclusively in one color. Its characteristic green coloration results from the iron content in the crystal lattice. Peridot forms in magmatic rocks and can occur in both volcanic basalts and meteorites. The stone is said to stimulate the heart chakra and promote emotional balance.
