Before making a purchase considering
a Peridot’s color is pivotal to the process of evaluation, a Peridot’s clarity comes second. Taste in color
is a personal matter, so while the following points
are verified facts from the gemstone world they are also up for contention, and in no way
are intended to restrict your personal preferences.
Some think that when buying a Peridot as a gem alone, or set into jewelry,
the darker the color the better the gem: False. If
a Peridot is too dark and subdued it’s lifeless, lacking all
the qualities for which it is renowned. Go for rich,
bright, vivid colors: with clear medium-tones.
