Glistening green peridot is a volcanic gem formed in the deep fires of the earth; on Hawaii, it is treasured as the tears of Pele. An entire beach in Oahu is formed of peridot sand, worn to powder by the ocean. Pele’s gift of peridot is thought by many to have great power to heal, and to bring wealth and growth. Its beautiful green-gold color perfectly complements an Island tan, and sparkles just as brilliantly at night as in the sun.
