Despite its popularity among rock-collectors, peridot remains one of the lesser known gems available on the market today. Their rarity can be attributed to its origin – most peridots come from Myanmar (formerly Burma), China, Pakistan, Tanzania and even Arizona in the USA – allowing only a limited number of commercial sources for quality materials. Peridots are also found in volcanic lava fields but tend not to be suitable for commercial purposes as they usually contain more matrix than desired by collectors or jewelers.
