Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color: basically an olive green. The intensity and tint of the green however depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow-green through olive green to brownish green. Peridot is the only gemstone found in meteorites.
Peridot olivine is the birthstone for August. It is sometimes mistaken for emeralds and other green gems. In fact notable gemologist George Frederick Kunz [2] discussed the confusion between Emeralds and Peridots in many church treasures, notably the "Three Magi" treasure in the Dom of Cologne, Germany. - Taken from Wikipedia
Cut:
The beauty and value of a diamond rests partially in the hands of the craftsman. A vital aspect of a diamonds value is cut. The quality of the cut determines its fire, or brilliance. A well cut diamond maximizes the reflection of light. The proper angle and symmetry of the facets, in conjunction with the stones polish, unleash the diamonds fire and enhances its natural beauty. Therefore, the more delicate and precise a cut is, the more the diamond will sparkle and the more brilliant it will be.
Clarity:
Clarity ratings are determined by the number of inclusions (tiny pinpoints, markings, clouding, etc.) and how visible they are. Diamonds with fewer inclusions have better clarity, which increases their brilliance and value. Diamonds with clarity grades of FL and IF contain no internal inclusions that are visible under 10x magnification. Diamonds with clarity grades VVS1 through SI2 have inclusions that are visible to varying degrees under 10x magnification, but should not generally be visible to the unaided eye. Diamonds with I1 clarity contain inclusions that are easily seen under 10x magnification and may be visible with the unaided eye. Diamonds with I2 and I3 clarities have major inclusions that are easily seen with the unaided eye.
Color:
Diamonds with an absence of body color most purely reflect the full color spectrum and are therefore the most valuable. Most diamonds come in a wide range of colors and are graded on a letter scale from D (colorless), the highest grade, through Z (usually a light yellow, brown, or gray). It is difficult for the untrained eye to see variations in color grades D through J unless stones are being compared side by side.
Carat Weight:
A carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured. Because large diamonds are found less commonly than small diamonds, the price of a diamond rises exponentionaly to its size.
Gemstone weight may vary + or - 0.05 points. Additionally, where gemstone weights are determined by measuring stones already set in jewelry, they are approximate and not guaranteed. Photos have been enlarged and/or enhanced to show detail. With regard to colored gems, the actual color may vary depending on the type of screen resolution and quality of screen you are using. Although we do everything within our ability to represent the color of a gem accurately, several factors come into play such as lighting, mounting of a gem as well as light dispersion in photographing a natural colored gem. Some stones will look lighter or darker than in a photograph.
