How tough is peridot?

Peridot has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable but not as tough as harder gemstones like sapphire or diamond. While it can withstand some wear and tear, it is still susceptible to scratches and damage if exposed to hard or abrasive surfaces. Care should be taken when wearing or storing peridot jewelry to maintain its beauty.
