How to distinguish between true or fake Peridot？

People’s first impression of Peridot is emerald, and also called olivine. It still occupies an important place in the jewelry industry with its unique grass green and soft luster. Olivine is an August birthstone, which is suitable for wearing in August, especially for people whose birthdays are in August.

Olivine is an ancient gemstone, which was used as a jewelry by the ancient Egyptians more than a thousand years ago. The ancient Romans called it “the Gemstone of the sun” and used it as a talisman to dispel evil.

As early as 3,500 years ago, olivine was discovered on St. John’s Island, an ancient Egyptian territory. However, at that time, no one knew what a good treasure the olive-green stone was. It was just named “Sun Gem” according to its color. People at that time believed that olivine was as powerful as the sun and could drive away evil and subdue demons.
