Description: This peridot bead bracelet from China features the vibrant, olive-to-lime green sparkle that has made peridot a coveted gemstone since antiquity. Peridot is the gem variety of the mineral olivine, with the formula (Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄, and it forms deep within the Earth’s mantle before being brought to the surface through volcanic activity. Chinese peridot, particularly from deposits in the Hebei and Xinjiang provinces, often displays excellent transparency and a rich, grassy hue that rivals the more famous sources of this gem. The beads are carefully shaped and polished to highlight the natural glow of the crystal, which is doubly refractive—meaning light entering the stone splits and exits in two rays, giving it a signature inner shimmer.

Peridot has a long global history, but Chinese sources have only been significantly tapped in the past few decades, bringing new supply and fresh interest in this ancient gem. In Chinese culture, green stones have traditionally symbolized growth, harmony, and the balance of nature, and peridot fits naturally within that worldview. The material is often found in basaltic lava flows, and its formation under extreme temperature and pressure adds to its allure as a stone forged by fire and deep Earth forces. These bead bracelets offer a modern, minimalist way to carry a slice of that geological power in everyday life.

Metaphysically, peridot is known as a stone of renewal, abundance, and personal growth. Often linked to the heart and solar plexus chakras, it's believed to clear emotional blockages, promote self-worth, and attract prosperity. The bright green color is thought to invigorate the spirit and encourage a joyful, forward-looking mindset. Worn as a bracelet, Chinese peridot becomes a radiant companion for those seeking clarity, confidence, and a fresh start—like springtime energy wrapped around your wrist.
