Peridot 2mm Round Rose-Cut Cabochon

This peridot cabochon combines the attractive green color of peridot with a versatile rose-cut; an ideal choice for vintage or modern jewelry designs. Combine it with a variety of complementary-color gemstones in a more complex pendant, ring or bracelet—it looks great when set in silver or yellow or white gold. Peridot is one of the birthstones for August. Peridot is the gem form of the mineral olivine. It is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color; the green hues can vary from yellowish to brownish green, from light olive green to vibrant green. The color of each gem is a result of iron in its chemical composition. Rio Grande sources the highest-quality peridot gemstones available, avoiding those with visible black inclusions. A favorite of yesteryear, this rose-cut faceting features a flat base (no pavilion) and a crown made up of triangular facets.
