Stunning Peridot Double Mushroom Brooch PIn

This double mushroom brooch pin is a stunning piece and surprisingly lightweight. The green-toned stones on the top caps and earthy-toned stones on the bottom bulbs serve more as color elements rather than being glittery and flashy. They add texture to a piece that already has some lovely textures. Various sources identify the green-toned rhinestones as peridot, a "... gem variety of the mineral forsterite and is most prized when it is a medium-dark green without yellow or brown undertones. In early times, peridot was associated with the sun and was believed to possess medicinal powers." According to Wikipedia, "Peridot, sometimes called chrysolite, is a yellow-green transparent variety of olivine. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color: an olive-green. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depends on the percentage of iron in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow, to olive, to brownish-green. In rare cases, peridot may have a medium-dark toned, pure green with no secondary yellow hue or brown mask." The type of stone in the bottom bulb is not identified. The metal material is described as alloy.
