Both beautiful and incredibly different, there is much to say about these two gemstones. Keep reading to learn more! History PERIDOT: This stone can be traced back over 3,000 years ago to the time of ancient Egyptians. It was a prized stone that is said to have been worn by Cleopatra, who mistakenly thought they were Emeralds! Peridot was also mined from an island off Egypt’s coast! SPINEL- Through the years, this gemstone was known as the most “underappreciated” out of all gemstones. It was often mistaken for the gemstone Ruby and sought out by royalty. The stone known as the “Black Prince Ruby” was acquired in 1367 by Edward, Prince of Wales and is in fact a 170 carat red Spinel! Anniversaries PERIDOT: 16th wedding anniversary. SPINEL: 22nd wedding anniversary. Symbolism Peridot- Promotes happiness by driving away bad thoughts.
