Peridot is treasured in Hawaii as the goddess Pele’s tears. The island of Oahu even has beaches made out of tiny grains of peridot. The fresh lime green colour of peridot is its distinct signature. Today a lot of periodot is found in Arizona, however an exciting new deposit of fine peridot has been discovered in the far west of the Himalaya Mountains in the Pakistanian part of Kashmir.
