Natural peridot, the August birthstone, in that fresh lime-green that carries a lot of colour for the size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe setting is stripped right back. Four slim claws hold each stone and nothing else gets in the way, so the peridot is almost all you see from the front. They hang straight off the hook wires with a small link, which keeps them light and lets the colour move whenever you do. Simple, everyday earrings that still bring a bit of green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeridot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural, oval cut, 6 x 4mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-claw, on hook wires\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout peridot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeridot is the gem form of a mineral called olivine, and it's one of the very few stones that comes in only one colour. Most gems get their colour from a stray trace of something else in the crystal, but peridot's green is built into the stone itself, set by the iron in its make-up, which is why it holds that steady olive-to-lime green rather than drifting from one stone to the next. It forms deep in the earth's mantle and is carried up by volcanoes, and a little has even turned up inside meteorites. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness: \u003c\/strong\u003e6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBirthstone:\u003c\/strong\u003e August\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCome and see them in the cabinet at Craigieburn.
