The stone read as the word

Peridot does not form near the surface; it is made deep and delivered — carried up by rising magma or dropped in from space inside meteoric iron. Every crystal we hold was contributed from somewhere else.

Contributive means bringing something in that adds. The stone's whole biography is arrival with something in hand.

What it is carried for

  • Carried when she has to bring something, not just attend.
  • Held for work that adds to a total she does not own.
