What is Peridot
Peridot is a green gemstone variety of the mineral olivine. Unlike many gemstones, its green colour is natural and does not come from surface treatment or dyeing. The shade can range from light yellow-green to deeper olive green depending on the stone.
In Urdu, peridot stone is commonly known as Zabarjad (زبرجد). Many people in Pakistan recognise the name but are not always familiar with how a real peridot looks. Genuine peridot shows natural colour variation and may contain small inclusions. Stones that look overly dark or perfectly uniform are often artificial.
