Olivine/Peridot

Sometimes also referred to as olivine, it is only found in one color--green. This uncommon green color is best known simply as peridot green and it varies from olive to brownish green. This green was highly prized by ancient admirers because it was often thought to be emerald, which is one of the greatest compliments peridot could ever receive. It is the national gem of Egypt, and the ancient Egyptians knew it as the gem of the sun.

Peridot, the bright green color of nature, is associated with harmony, good health, restful sleep, and peacefulness.  Known as the stone of compassion, peridot calms anger by giving renewal to all things.
