About Peridot

Peridot is a quiet community on the San Carlos Apache Reservation in eastern Arizona, surrounded by wide desert basins and rugged mountain ranges. The area is famous for its namesake green gemstone, which tribal members have mined from nearby volcanic mesas for generations. Centered along U.S. Route 70, Peridot hosts several key reservation services, including local tribal education centers and district school facilities. With the San Carlos River nearby and San Carlos Lake just down the road, outdoor spots for fishing and relaxing are always close at hand. For major shopping, healthcare, and everyday conveniences, residents usually make the drive into neighboring Globe or Safford.
