What stones go with chrysolite?

Chrysolite named after two ancient Greek words χρυσος – gold and λιθος – stone – mineral, a transparent jewelry variety of olivine of the subclass of island silicates. Synonym: “peridot”. Peridot is one of the precious stones of a very beautiful color: from yellow-green, sometimes almost emerald green, to olive green and dark chartreuse, with a characteristic golden tint. Refers to semi-precious stones (gems). In the old days, peridot was often called the “evening emerald”, as it has the property of darkening under artificial light and turning into pure green, while the yellow tint completely disappears. The hardness of peridot is 6,5-7,0 on the Mohs scale, and the density is 3,3 g/cm 3 .

Place of Birth

The best and most famous deposit of peridot, exploited intermittently from ancient times to the present day and famous for its especially large crystals, is located on the island of Zeberged (Arab Republic of Egypt). The island is uninhabited and located in the central part of the Red Sea. In Russia, its deposits are insignificant; it is found mainly in diamond-bearing rocks and placers in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and in Yakutia. Jewelry quality chrysolite is found in the Murmansk region in the rocks of the Kovdor massif. Of the foreign deposits, the most important are located in Pakistan, the USA (Arizona), Australia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Egypt, Tanzania and South Africa.

Peridot jewelry and its prices

Peridot is highly valued by lovers of natural stones. It adequately adorns jewelry with the highly artistic touch of craftsmen for many years. Light green olivine or golden green garnet is today a very popular stone in jewelry and among admirers of its color. In jewelry practice, chrysolite can be called several similar stones of the same shades: garnets – demantoids (in the Urals it was customary to call them chrysolites), beryls, close to golden heliodors, tourmalines, which in light green with a yellowish tint are called verdelites, and also topazes, spinels, chrysoberyls and corundums. Despite the fact that the olive mineral is considered masculine, women wear rings with chrysolite with no less pleasure. When choosing a piece of jewelry, you need to decide on the frame. Precious stones look great in precious metals – silver and gold. A gold ring with peridot has a very representative appearance, and the gold itself goes well with the golden-green color. However, a frame in silver is also an excellent option. This romantic and touching metal does not intrusively emphasize the beauty of the stone. It is possible that rings with chrysolite in silver will be preferable due to their lower cost compared to a gold frame. If spouses give each other a ring with chrysolite, then this allows them to maintain or increase mutual attraction; two rings connected together create an infinity symbol. Speaking about silver, we can add that it is a spiritual metal, a conductor of astral vibrations. In Eastern medicine it is used to restore and cleanse the human energy field. In Russia, first of all, such properties inherent in silver as antiseptic and disinfection are valued. In terms of style, lunar metal pairs well with a variety of colors and clothing styles. For example, rings in silver take on a democratic look and go perfectly with jeans and caps. Earrings with peridot, as a rule, are an attribute of a woman’s appearance, but such jewelry can also be offered for the stronger half of humanity. True, these are more likely not earrings – an earring of a simple or rough shape. Or it could be studs with chrysolite, simple and tasteful. Peridot earrings for women retain an abundance of shapes, simple or complex, small or large, round or triangular, hanging or classic neat, in silver or gold. Gold earrings with peridot have an expensive and solemn look, but it is possible that the golden glow of the metal will not find a combination with the color of the skin and the skin may look pale or even yellowish. Stones in silver always retain freshness and complexion. In addition to the main jewelry, such as earrings and rings, necklaces, pendants, and beads made of peridot are known. Necklaces and pendants are a more formal option for neck accessories, especially those set in gold and silver. Peridot beads have a fairly simple appearance, without cutting or setting. Beads come in different shapes: voluminous drops, round pebbles, hearts, ovals and rectangles. Very simple beads are also created from chrysolite, made from the least valuable cloudy mineral. The most successful fashion trend has been the idea of ​​combining earrings and rings into sets, but when it comes to our olive mineral, it is worth considering its strong influence (even in silver) and being prudent. It is quite enough if you have a ring with peridot or earrings. When jewelry with peridot was at the height of fashion in France, they said: if you have two stones, then you have a lot of them. It is better to store peridot jewelry that is dear to your heart separately from other jewelry, as the crystal easily gets scratched. Earrings, pendants and rings absolutely cannot stand contact with acid. Therefore, if, for example, you decide that an expensive peridot ring set in silver, which you wear without taking it off, requires cleaning, be very careful in choosing cleaning products. Well-cared for jewelry will fill your life with radiance, claiming to be your best friend. Peridot is best worn as an amulet or talisman, and not as beautiful jewelry without meaning.
