前言
Introduction
橄榄石既来自地球深处的地幔流体,在灼热岩浆的磨炼之下凝结成璀璨的宝石晶体;也来自天穹之中,被发现存在于月球、火星与陨石之上,帮助人类探索宇宙的无尽奥秘。
Originating from magma deep into the Earth’s mantle, peridot crystallised during the transformation of searing lava flows. It also descended from the firmament above, remaining hidden on the Moon, Mars, and even meteorites until humans discovered it while exploring the mysterious universe.
约公元前1500年,人类在红海的岛屿上开启了对橄榄石矿藏的探索与开采,这抹温暖、明亮的黄绿色获得了世界各地人们的青睐。3500年以来,众多精美绝伦的橄榄石珠宝作品见证了人类文明发展的历史洪流。随着科学技术的发展,人们对橄榄石的了解愈发系统化,因此创造出更多、更精美的宝石琢型与珠宝艺术作品,得以最大程度的绽放橄榄石的美丽。随着中国吉林省敦化市意气松南山橄榄石宝石矿的开采,橄榄石富有生命力的绿色与灿烂的中华文明相遇,这来自长白山脉的珍贵宝石,同样也是蕴含自然灵气的珍贵结晶,它在闪耀世间的同时,也是在向世界展现源远流长的中华文化。橄榄石除了运用于珠宝领域外,其在工业领域也有广泛的运用。同时,就理论而言,小颗粒橄榄石可吸收空气中的二氧化碳,未来或可运用于环保领域。
Around 1500 B.C., the distinct yellowish-green hue of peridot gained popularity worldwide since people embarked on the mining of peridot deposits on islands in the Red Sea. And over 3,500 years until now honing peridot jewellery pieces into exquisite has witnessed the advancement of human civilisation as the tide of times forges ahead. This process has contributed to the development of science and technology, leading to a more systematic understanding of peridot and the creation of increasingly beautiful facets of this gemstone. As a result, peridot has reached a stage where its beauty is maximised. With the exploration of the Dunhua City Yiqisong Nanshan Peridot Mine in Jilin Province, China, the vibrant green colour of peridot merges with the splendour of Chinese civilisation. It also stands as a precious symbol of the Changbai Mountains’ natural endowment, shining in the world with a demonstration of China’s rich heritage. Apart from its usage in jewellery, peridot is also utilised in a wide range of industrial fields. Theoretically, small particles of peridot can absorb carbon dioxide from the air, potentially serving for environmental protection in the future.
盛夏盎然,流光溢彩。本次展览我们与富丽宝石相约,共同谱写《橄·爱——橄榄石的生命之旅》专题特展。在温暖、明亮的绿色光晕中,我们共同见证橄榄石经历的孕育、再造与共创,体验一次震撼人心的奇妙旅程。
There flourishes midsummer under the light, lulled in these colours with the dances and delight. In this exhibition cooperated with Fuli Gemstones, we invite you to join us and compose this special rhythm: OLOVE: Hope for the Future: 3 Remarkable Materials: Peridot, Olivine & Basalt. Let us together witness the birth, carving, and creation that peridot undergoes, and experience this mind-blowing journey in its warm, bright green glow.
第一展区概述·橄育
Part 1: Under-nature: Birth
从地幔岩浆到璀璨晶体,橄榄石的孕育历经自然界的重重淬炼与磨砺。在地幔熔融作用和高温影响下凝结成宝石晶体,后通过地质活动伴随玄武岩浆喷出地表形成橄榄石矿藏。橄榄石也是来自外太空的宝石,被发现存在于月球、火星与陨石之上,帮助人类探索深邃寰宇中的无尽奥秘。目前,宝石级橄榄石主要分布于中国、美国、缅甸和巴基斯坦。本章节将展示带围岩的橄榄石原矿、未琢磨的橄榄石原石、橄榄陨石,结合橄榄石的自然形成过程和橄榄石矿藏分布,通过这些矿石标本和影像资料解构橄榄石的物质属性,奏响一场悠扬宏伟的自然旋律。
From being forged by the mantle’s magma to forming sparkling crystals, peridot is born through the powerful forces of nature. Peridot initially crystallised under the natural influence of fusion and high temperatures. During volcanic eruptions, the magma incorporates the peridot crystals and transports them to the surface, where they occur in nodules within the basalt. Peridot can also originate from outer space, as evidenced by its presence on the Moon, Mars, and meteorites. Currently, gem-quality peridot is mainly found in China, the USA, Burma, and Pakistan. This section presents the physical characteristics of peridot by providing mineral specimens, including peridot ores with wall rocks, uncut peridot, and pallasite. It also provides visual materials such as pictures depicting the formation of peridot and a map illustrating the global distribution of peridot deposits.
第二展区概述·橄造
Part 2: Into-nature: Carving
精工臻锻,以成百态。自然产生的橄榄石,需要经过严格的分级与琢磨,才能成为现身于珠宝佳作上的那一抹盎然绿意。粗糙的橄榄石原石在宝石工匠智慧与汗水的浇灌下,获得新的生命,绽放出千姿百态的旖旎光影。本章节将展示不同琢型的橄榄石裸石,结合橄榄石的内部特征、原料的分级与加工流程、橄榄石裸石分级等影像资料,透过微观与多样化的视角,洞察自然鬼斧神工与人类精妙巧思共同缔造的橄榄石乐章。
Practice makes perfect. Natural peridot undergoes rigorous grading and polishing processes before skilled artisans carve it into exquisite jewellery pieces, bringing its vibrant green colour to life. The rough peridot stone showcases a variety of green shades thanks to the wisdom and practices of gemmologists. This section presents from the grading and processing of raw materials to a selection of peridot with different cuts, combined with images of the peridot’s internal characteristics, to offer a microscopic and diverse perspective of the peridot into nature and craftsmanship.
第三展区概述·橄创
Part 3: Beyond-nature: Creation
当古埃及人在橄榄石中捕捉到如太阳般的光辉时,他们于刹那间的光影折射中惊艳于橄榄石独树一帜的美丽,于是橄榄石被奉为“太阳宝石”,受到了人们的崇拜与珍视。
When the Egyptians captured the light of the sun in the peridot, they were suddenly and spectacularly confronted by its unimaginable beauty through refraction. In many ancient Egyptian traditions, the peridot was worshipped as the “gem of the sun”.
本章节的展品跨越了橄榄石漫长的历史,深入探讨了珠宝作为一种艺术形式在历史变迁中所扮演的重要角色。通过对橄榄石设计作品的解读,我们展现了橄榄石与古埃及宝石浮雕工艺、19世纪盛行的自然主题珠宝风格、20世纪装饰艺术等时代审美风格的相遇,同时展示了在“国潮”的影响下,设计师们以传统文化为核心的中式珠宝审美。
This section goes beyond the mythical spin of Egyptian legends and delves into a more complex story about jewellery as an art form throughout historical changes. By focusing on the design of the peridot, it explores how Naturalism in the 19th century and the Art Deco style of the 20th century became prominent trends in jewellery, defining a luxurious style that resonated across Europe and modern China. It also considers how Chinese jewellery styles innovatively adapted the traditional cultures in response to an increasingly interconnected world, especially under the influence of China chic.
本展区展示了设计师对橄榄石的诠释,包括制作精美的戒指、项链、手镯、胸针等橄榄石珠宝,具有丰富文化内涵的腕表、时装、摆件等展品,同时展现了橄榄石、玄武岩在现代科技、工业领域的应用。无论是作为时尚潮流描摹的对象,还是与前沿科技的结合创新,橄榄石一直参与到人类文明发展的进程之中,跨越时间和文化,它将永远存在于世界对于这抹绿意的美好回忆中。
Featuring designers’ interpretations of peridot, as well as objects from Fuli Gemstones collection, this section showcases exquisitely crafted peridot rings, necklaces, brooches, and bracelets, including extraordinary showpieces like watches and clothes. It also highlights the applications of peridot and basalt in modern technology and industry. Whether coveted as objects of fashionable trends or as a representation of innovation with cutting-edge technology, peridot has remained a symbol of beauty and luxury across time and cultures – and its legacy persists in our attitudes to luxury today.

Peridot is born to shine in the world as a green treasure that originates from the depths of the earth and the boundless universe. The raw peridot stone has been carefully selected, polished, carved, and turned into jewellery that embodies emotions and cultures. Today, the discovery of Yiqisong Nanshan Peridot Mine in Dunhua City, Jilin Province, China, has revitalised peridot, infusing it with fashionable ideas and new designs. Through the dialogue between AI-designed peridot jewellery and the green applications of basalt and olivine sand, peridot continues to offer new prospects for sustainable development. The union of the natural world and human civilisation is interpreted here in peridot.
从地底世界和无尽寰宇到人类文明,我们见证了橄榄石的孕育、再造与共创,与橄榄石完成了一次双向奔赴。而位于长白山脉的意气松南山橄榄石宝石矿,也将携带着中华文化之底蕴,为橄榄石的历史翻开一页新的篇章。
From the subterranean world to the vast universe, and through human civilisation, we have witnessed the birth, carving and creation of peridot while completing the journey into peridot. And Yiqisong Nanshan Peridot Mine in the Changbai Mountains will carry the heritage of Chinese culture and write a new chapter in the history of peridot.
