The symbol

Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury. Its glyph represents the twins Castor and Pollux of Greek and Roman myth, the Dioscuri who were placed among the stars to remain forever near one another. Born between May 21 and June 20, Gemini opens the second third of spring, the season of fast learning and emerging connection. Across traditions Gemini has been associated with communication, intellectual curiosity, duality, and the gift of moving easily between worlds, people, and ideas.

About this stone

Peridot is the gem variety of olivine, a magnesium-iron silicate that crystallizes deep in the earth's upper mantle and is delivered to the surface by basaltic volcanism. The world's oldest documented deposit is Zabargad island in the Red Sea, mined for at least 3,500 years, where ancient Egyptians called it the gem of the sun. Some peridot reaches the earth from space, embedded in pallasite meteorites that fall as iron-stone hybrids. The stone is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, durable enough for daily wear, with a distinctive olive-to-yellow-green color from its iron content. Curated by a certified gemologist.

Care and wear

Peridot is durable for daily wear but moderately sensitive to acid and harsh chemicals. Remove before applying household cleaners or pool chemicals. Clean with mild soap and warm water, dried with a soft cloth.
