its full power, is required to be set in gold; worn in this way it dispels the vague terrors of the night. In

range through browns and reds. It exhibits the luster and fracture of glass, and has a hardness of 6 to 7.
The clear, green varieties are termed peridot, but "peridot" is to be distinguished from "peridot from
Brazil" and "peridot of Ceylon" which are tourmalines. Crysolite occurs in the United States at places
in Arizona and New Mexico. 'The Serpent Isle' in the Red Sea was stated by Agatharcides to be the
source whence came the topaz (chrysolite); here, by the mandate of the Egyptian kings, the inhabitants
collected specimens of this stone for polishing... From this Egyptian source, and possibly from others
exploited by the Egyptians, have come the finest chrysolites (peridots, or olivines). Chrysolite, to exert
its full power, is required to be set in gold; worn in this way it dispels the vague terrors of the night. In
