Peridot is the water on a flower...
it is born of volcanic action.
Tiny peridot crstals are in the sands of Hawaii...

The Peridot is a true light lime green.
There are peridots also that have a brownish hue
or olive color. These are not valuable.
The greener and brighter, the more valuable.
Most peridot is pale.

Special Powers:
Pirates collected and wore Peridots.
They were considered powerful amulets against
all evils at sea and on land.
They keep you safe from the terrors of the night...
and intensify many drugs or medicines.

Peridot is abundant, so can be found in
large sizes - it cuts well too.

Peridot is found abundantly in The United States.
Near Globe, Arizona, Peridot is mined by Native Americans
on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation.
Large pieces are mined in Myanmar, Burma. China too.

"A woman without a ring is like
perfume without a scent"
maggieblue says that

~also~
"A ring without a stone has to be
heavy silver or gold, preferably gold..."
maggieblue says that too

~also~

Rings on the fingers,
rings on the toes...
but do not think
a ring in the nose.

A jewel in the nose might be nice
a diamond, sapphire, citrine
would suffice.

But pearls in the nose,
that's really a 'Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkk...'
Who has sniffed up a pearl
knows this is a risk!
maggieblue says that too

Au Revoir, Beloved.
