Hey Junkies, here for your weekly dose? Well we have something that’s subtle, yet special. You probably know by now we mean Peridot! Lets go on a little journey to a time long, long ago, and to a place far, far away from Idaho.<\/p>\n

1st Stop:<\/p>\n

Zagarbad, the mysterious, “disappearing” island where Peridot can be found.<\/p>\n

This is what they mean by “nodules”- pockets per say where you can find smaller amounts of Peridot all nestled up.<\/p>\n

Last stop but not least, Parle’s vault where I found a more than worthy piece of Peridot jewelry to photograph. They really are beautiful.<\/p>\n
