Q: What is the history of Peridot gemstone ?
A: The fabled origin of Peridot stretches back to Ancient Egypt, on the volcanic island off Zebargad in the Red Sea. Peridot was so treasured by the Ancient Egyptians that they kept the island's location a secret. With the fall of the Egyptian empire, the island became lost to antiquity, and was only rediscovered in 1906.
