Peridot (Zabarjad)

What is Peridot (Zabarjad)?

Peridot is the olive-to-lime green gem variety of the mineral olivine, coloured by iron, with a hardness of about 6.5–7. It is the birthstone for August.

Peridot Benefits & Meaning

Peridot is associated with positivity, prosperity and protection, and is loved for its warm, sunny green colour. It is worn both for its beauty and its long history as a stone of light.

How to Identify an Original Peridot

Natural peridot shows a distinctive yellowish-green colour, a glassy-to-slightly-oily lustre and good transparency, often with tiny natural inclusions. Because imitations are common in the market, buy from a trusted seller — every stone at GemStore.pk is hand-inspected and, where applicable, lab-verifiable.

Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.
