Peridot is the gem form of the mineral olivine. It is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color; the green hues can vary from yellowish to brownish green, from light olive green to vibrant green. The color of each stone is a result of iron in its chemical composition. Rio Grande sources the highest-quality peridot stones available, avoiding those with visible black inclusions.
The trillion cut features three curved sides, rounded corners and brilliant faceting.
