Geocache Description:

A simple park and grab in a suburban street.


Another in the 20/20 Vision series. This one is a little different in that it is not right at the signs. Unfortunately not all the signs and posts are magnetic! This container is another black/camp painted micro up against a green (appropriately) power box just East of the sign. The container is lightly covered in bark/wood chips and is sort of visible and reachable from the footpath if you use your 20/20 vision and lean over a bit. Please be discreet and make sure you know what to look for and where to look before taking any direct action. You are very exposed! 

Take your own writing implement. There is not much room inside a peridot!

Peridot is gem-quality olivine. Olivine is a silicate mineral with formula of (Mg, Fe)2SiO4. As peridot is the magnesium-rich variety (forsterite) the formula approaches Mg2SiO4.

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color, an olive green. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow--to olive--to brownish-green. The most valued color is a dark olive-green.

Peridot olivine is the birthstone for the month of August, which is why it has been hidden during this month. 

Don’t look for the peridot! It won’t be there!
