Flute player with peridot,
        carved applewood pendant

           Designed and carved by Dominic Koval
           at the Well of Stars, Lake Elmore, Vermont

Peridot, which is created in the fire of volcanic explosions and can sometimes be found in meteors, symbolizes clairvoyance and is said to aid in the fulfillment of dreams. Ancient Romans called them "evening emeralds" because their color does not darken in lamplight, and in Hawaiian legend they are the tears of the goddess Pele. Peridot is the birthstone for August, the anniversary stone for the 16^th year of marriage, and the state gemstone of Nevada.
