Semi Precious Stone Olivine Bracelet
Olivine is known by many names. Besides its real mineral names,
forsterite and fatality, it is known as "chrysolite",
"evening emerald" and peridot. The
term chrysolite is an old German name that was practical to gemmy
olivine, but now is only occasionally used to refer to light yellowish
green olivine. Evening emerald is a name given
to olivine's gemstone
variety, peridot, by some jewelers in some effort
to increase the apparent value of the stones.
Color is a light near emerald green to the additional
common pale yellowish green; also found colorless, greenish brown
to black.
