Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Peridot carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Peridot is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Peridot have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Peridot, but if you find flaws, then your Peridot is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Peridot are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Peridot. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Peridot, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Peridot from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Peridot. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Peridot. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.

Peridot Cleaning & Maintenance

It is essential to give your gemstone a thorough cleaning in order to preserve its luster, as regular use can cause it to become dull. This washing enables it to purge itself from negative energies as well.

Peridot is resistant to light but vulnerable to sulfuric acid and less so to hydrochloric acid. It is also vulnerable to long-term acidic perspiration attack. Warm, soapy water is the best peridot cleaning solution. It is not recommended to use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
