The stone of the Month of August peridot

For many centuries the only place to find Peridot was the remote, fear inspiring island of Zabargad, and even today there is a certain sense of exclusivity about it. Although some good olive colored crystals are found in a few other places, like Burma, China, Zambia, and Pakistan, ninety percent of all known Peridots are found in just one place. It is a Native American reservation, and it is located in a little-visited corner of the United States.
