August’s Birthstone Precious Peridot

For those of you who are collectors, pallasitic peridot is right up your galaxy! Peridot is the only gemstone that has its origin in outer space, they can be extracted from a type of stony-iron meteorite called a Pallasite. Other types of meteorites contain olivine (gemmy olivine is called peridot by us earthlings) but it is never as big or gemmy as those found in pallasites. Some pallasites can be sliced to display these crystals nestled inside of the iron-nickel metal. Pallasites are thought to originate from the crust/mantle boundaries of failed planetary bodies destroyed during the formation of our solar system. They can be cut and used in jewelry too. If you like your peridot with a little more yellow, these stones are for you
