Peridot is one of the world's oldest gems. The first stones were found as early as 1500 B.C. on Topazo Island (now known as St. John's) in the Egyptian Red Sea. The island was volcanic and was called Topazios, Zabargad, and St. John's Island. The Ancient Egyptians kept the island's location a secret.

Gary Green Jasper, also referred to as "petrified bog wood" and/or "Larsonite" is a form of petrified wood from a location near McDermitt Oregon, on the Nevada/Oregon border. It's believed to be wood that was covered by volcanic activity between 11-15 million years ago.
