14"-18" Peridot, Citrine, & Lapis Lazuli Three Strand Adjustable Necklace

Peridot

The ancient Egyptians mined peridot on the Red Sea island of Zabargad, the source for many large fine peridots in the world‰۪s museums. The Egyptians called it the ‰ÛÏgem of the sun.‰۝ Today this gem is still prized for its restful yellowish green hues and long history. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color: an olive-green. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depends on the percentage of iron that is contained in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow, to olive, to brownish-green. Did you know?....Peridot crystals have been collected from some pallasite meteorites! Some peridot is ancient: it's found in pallasite meteorites, remnants of our solar system's birth. In 2005, peridot was found in comet dust brought back from theStardust robotic space probe.

Citrine

Citrine is recognized as one of the most popular and frequently purchased yellow gemstones.A trace of iron in citrine‰۪s structure is responsible for its yellow-to-orange color.

It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth. ... Its name comes from the Latin lapis, "stone," and the Persian lazhuward, "blue." Associated with the third eye chakra, the Lapis Lazuli meaning can be traced back to ancient Egypt where royalty believed in its power to stimulate openness to the spirit world and infinite possibilities of the imagination. Fashion icon and Egyptian beauty Cleopatra used the crushed powder of Lapis Lazuli in her cosmetics to create the signature eye makeup design that symbolizes an Egyptian pharaoh.
