In the Middle Ages, peridot was considered a symbol of faith and true love. In some cultures, peridot was believed to have the power to dispel darkness and bring peace and prosperity to its owner. Today, peridot continues to be appreciated for its refreshing green hue, a symbol of growth, good fortune and vitality.
