Peridot is one of the oldest, most beloved gemstones, found set into ancient Egyptian jewelry as early as early as circa second millennium B.C. This singular Peridot was found by the ancient Egyptians, off the island of what was called Topazios or Zebirget (know named St. Johns), placed in the Red Sea, about 50 miles off the Egyptian coast. Legends say that this island was covered in snakes, production it impossible to mine, until a pharaoh drove them into the sea. The name Peridot is said to be derived from the Arabic word, faridat, meaning gem.
