Heaven-sent. The vibrant peridot has been coveted since ancient times, and was often mistaken for an emerald. Cleopatra famously loved emeralds, but now historians agree that her collection of choice green stones were actually peridot. This is an exceptionally large example of this enigmatic treasure. Peridot is the traditional birthstone for the month of August, perhaps because August is when the night skies are filled with meteors known as the Perseids. Peridot deposits have been discovered in the remains of fallen stars, adding to their nearly surreal appeal. Gemstone Details
