HOW TO DETERMINE IF A PERIDOT IS REAL

"As with other gemstones, peridot is occasionally faked. Imitation peridot is usually made using glass, making it relatively simple to detect imperfections and separate a fake period from a real one. You can identify authentic peridot by:

Performing an eye test. Check the peridot’s color. A real peridot will have a pure green color with tints of either yellow or brown. If you detect other colors in the stone, it may be an imitation.

Check for double refraction. Peridot has a very high double refraction, meaning you’ll be able to see two of each pavilion facet when you examine the gem closely. To check if a peridot is real, hold it against a light — if there’s no double refraction, it’s likely fake.

Check for imperfections. Period scores 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, meaning it’s possible to scratch a peridot gemstone. Check the surface of the gemstone for cracks — if it looks too perfect, it’s unlikely to be real.

You can also look inside the gemstone for inclusions. Natural peridots will almost always display some inclusions when they’re examined under magnification. If you see bubbles in the gemstone, it’s likely a fake peridot made from glass.

Check its color under different lighting. Peridot is a unique gemstone in that its color doesn’t change under light. Real peridot will stay the same color when it’s exposed to natural or artificial light, while a fake may show a different color."²
