Peridots are famous for their “lily pad” inclusions that are no doubt very beautiful to observe. What makes them more beautiful is observing them in varying lighting conditions. These two lily pads bumping into each other display interesting changes as the light shifts. The third picture looks like 90’s computer wallpaper with a heart flying across the screen.
Peridots can also have fingerprints. Sometimes they are very fine, like the FP in this particular case.
Lastly, as in any gemstone with a surface reaching feather, following the fracture into the gem and observing the changes in appearance as the lighting conditions change is something that can turn out to be very beautiful.
