Born in the Earth's mantle — carried to the surface by volcanic activity. Vivid lime green. August birthstone.
Peridot is one of only two gemstones formed not in the Earth's crust but in the mantle. Kohistan peridot is carried to the surface by volcanic activity. The vivid lime green is produced by iron within the olivine crystal structure.
The most extraordinary origin story of any VERDAAN stone. To hold a Kohistan peridot is to hold a piece of the Earth's mantle — formed 50 million years ago at depths of 30–55km.
"Born in the Earth's mantle — carried to the surface by volcanic activity. Vivid lime green. August birthstone."
In Vedic astrology, each gemstone corresponds to a planetary energy. Kohistan Peridot is prescribed for specific ascendants and planetary periods. VERDAAN provides treatment certificates explicitly stating no-heat status — essential for astrological efficacy.
Natural gemstones hold significance across 1,400 years of Islamic civilisation. VERDAAN certifies authenticity — so the stone you use for Sunnah practice or as a meaningful gift is genuinely what it claims to be.
Accessible pricing makes peridot the ideal entry point for new collectors. Kohistan peridot's unusually vivid colour gives it a quality premium over other world sources.
