Semi Precious Stone Olivine Rings
Olivine is known by many names. Besides its real mineral names,
forsterite and fayalite, 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 sometimes used
to refer to light yellowish green olivine. Twilight emerald is
a name given to olivine's gemstone variety, peridot,
by some jewelers in some effort to increase the obvious value
of the stones.
