Peridot, colour light-green and shape cube faceted

Quick overview:

Peridot, colour light-green and shape cube faceted. Peridot has been mined for over 3,500 years mostly in the Red Sea. Its usual green colour is a result of the small amounts of iron that are almost invariable present. Peridot is inferred to be a major component of the Earth's upper mantle, and as such is probably one of the most abundant mineral constituents of the planet. Common Peridot is widespread in China, Myanmar, Brazil, Austalia, Hawaii, USA, Norway, South Africa.
Info: Peridot beads were made by the Egyptians as early as 1580-1350bc. It was considered a symbol of the Sun from ancient times to the Middle Ages, and as early Greek manuscript informs us that it confers royal dignity on its bearer.
