Peridot Tumbled Chips - 3-5 mm

These Peridot Chips are small tumbled pieces in bright lime to olive green, with the clear, translucent character the gem is known for. The chips are a loose, unstrung form suited to crystal grids, resin and jewellery craft, pouches, and decorative fills.

Peridot is traditionally associated with renewal, abundance, and positive transformation, and is commonly used to support growth, motivation, and a fresh outlook. Loose chips like these are often placed in grids and intention layouts, added to craft and resin projects, or carried in a pouch. Their vivid green makes them a bright material for growth-focused, abundant layouts.

As a natural gem material, each chip varies in its shade of green and clarity across the mix, so no two are alike.

Geological Information
Peridot is the gem variety of olivine, a magnesium iron silicate with a hardness of 6.5 to 7, and one of the few gems whose colour comes from its base composition rather than trace impurities, so the green cannot be changed by heat treatment. Olivine is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's mantle, and Peridot is also found in pallasitic meteorites. It has been in continuous use since antiquity: the Egyptians worked the Zabargad deposit in the Red Sea and called it the gem of the sun, and the Romans called it Evening Emerald because its colour held under lamplight. The material is sourced chiefly from Pakistan, Arizona in the United States, and China.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.
