What the lab checks on peridot
- Identification: peridot shows strong double refraction, which the lab measures. This separates it from green glass, tourmaline and green sapphire.
- Synthetics: synthetic forsterite exists but is uncommon; it is checked with spectroscopy.
- Fillings: fractures filled with oil or resin are rare but noted when found.
- Origin: some labs give an opinion, which matters to buyers of Pakistani peridot.
