Product Detail
Called “the extreme gem” by the Gemological Institute of America, Peridot is born of fire and brought to light, one of only two gems (Diamond is the other) formed not in the Earth’s crust, but in molten rock of the upper mantle and brought to the surface by the tremendous forces of earthquakes and volcanoes. While these Peridots are born of Earth, other crystals of Peridot have extraterrestrial origins, found in rare pallasite meteorites (only 61 known to date) formed some 4.5 billion years ago, remnants of our solar system’s birth. Peridot in its basic form, Olivine, was also found in comet dust brought back from the Stardust robotic space probe in 2006, has been discovered on the moon, and detected by instrument on Mars by NASA’s Global Surveyor. Ancients believed, quite accurately, that Peridot was ejected to Earth by a sun’s explosion and carries its healing power.
Each stone is hand selected so I know that only the very best are incorporated into my work. Each piece I create is made from start to finish with a creative and artistic soul in mind. I want you to feel the love that was put into your piece, a piece that was always meant for just one person, they are meant to speak to you in a sense – call you by name and say “I’m yours.” Embrace the natural beauty of these stones and know they were made just for you.
Due to the natural state of stones used by Clare Mills Designs, each piece will vary. Naturally occurring variations such as shape, color, shading, color concentration, thickness, texture, etc, are to be expected, are not flaws and not considered a manufacturer defect.
