\n
1) Peridot is a transparent mineral that has the green color of olive oil. Its name is probably derived from the Persian word faridat, which means gemstone. <\/div>\n
Peridot was known since ancient times. The Egyptians extracted peridot from the island of Zebirget in the Red Sea. These mines existed until 1920. <\/div>\n
It was also known in ancient Greece, but they called it Topazio. The Romans knew and used peridot, which they called “emerald of the night”. <\/div>\n
Peridot is the precious quality of Olivine (sometimes called Chrysolite), a mineral that is quite common. But it is quite rare in olivine deposits. <\/div>\n
It is one of the few gemstones that appear consistently in a single colour, which is more intense the more iron is present as an impurity in its mass.<\/div>\n
The largest amount of peridot is extracted from mines in Arizona, USA, but it is of relatively low quality. In Pakistan, in a rugged area on the border with Afghanistan, there are peridot mines of excellent quality.This is where the peridot that is traded worldwide for fine jewellery comes from.<\/div>\n
A large piece of peridot decorates the reliquary of the Three Kings, located in the Cathedral of Colonia.<\/div>\n
In modern times, peridot is in constant demand in the jewellery industry for its unique colour and other characteristics that make it a popular gemstone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

2) Agate belongs to the tectosilicate minerals. It is considered a mineral in the varieties of chalcedony (microcrystalline form of quartz) and occurs in various colours, the main one being white. In all its colours, however, it is translucent. <\/p>\n

According to Theophrastus, the Greeks named this mineral after the river Agate (now Drilio) in Sicily where they found it.<\/div>\n
Agate was highly valued as an amulet in antiquity. Also, agate goblets were very popular in the Byzantine Empire and during the Renaissance by the aristocrats of the time. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
3) Corneol (or Carnelian) is a reddish-brown mineral commonly used as a semi-precious stone.It is a variety of chalcedony stone of a silica-containing mineral, coloured with iron oxide.<\/div>\n
The colour of Cornelius varies widely from light orange to intense, almost black.<\/div>\n
Cornelian was preserved in the Minoan layers of the Bronze Age in Knossos, Crete, in a form that proves that it was used in decorative arts (1800 BC).<\/div>\n
Corneol was widely used during Roman times in the creation of gemstone vessels for sealing rings used to imprint a seal in wax on correspondence.<\/div>\n
The term Carnelian is a 16th century corruption of the 14th century word Karnelian.<\/div>\n
The word corneolus comes from the medieval Latin “corneolus” which came from the Latin word “cornum” which is the tree of the horseradish tree, a kind of wild cherry tree, whose almost transparent red fruits resemble this stone.<\/div>\n
Cornelian is considered a stone of self-respect and self-confidence.<\/div>\n
