The Mythology and History of Peridot Gemstones
Peridot is treasured in Hawaii as the tears of goddess Pele. Pele lives inside the largest active volcanoes and is described as she who shapes the sacred land. She is the goddess of fire, lightening, wind, and volcanoes. With every volcanic eruption in Hawaii, it is said that Pele is expressing her longing to be with her true love. However, because of her fiery origin, Pele is considered a fickle and dangerous force, prone to killing her lovers.
