"Peridot has been coveted for more than 3,000 years. According to the Smithsonian, ancient Egyptians fashioned beads from golden green peridot crystals mined on an island in the Red Sea. The island was known to the Greeks and Romans as Topazios and its verdant bounty (today's peridot) was known as topazion until the 18th century.

Most peridot originates deep in the Earth's mantle, but scientists have also proven that August's birthstone is truly extraterrestrial. It has been found embedded within meteorites and scattered across the surface of Mars."
