stone and often called See also:peridot. The name chrysolite, meaning " See also:golden stone " (xpuubs and Mos.), has been applied to various yellowish gems, notably to See also:topaz, to some kinds of See also:beryl and to See also:chrysoberyl. The true chrysolite of the See also:modern mineralogist is a See also:magnesium silicate, referable to the See also:species olivine. It is appropriate to See also:call the lighter coloured stones inclining to yellow chrysolite, and the darker See also:green stones peridot. Certain kinds of topaz, from the Schneckenstein in See also:Saxony, are known as Saxon chrysolite; while See also:moldavite, a substance much like a green See also:obsidian, is sometimes called See also:water chrysolite or pseudo-chrysolite.
