Not to take away from Bloom-lover bashing, or to really push the original subject, but did people of the Third Age, regardless of how great elves and men and hobbits were, recognize the difference between a peridot and a heliador, or the color peridot on a stone? (With the exception of course, of the Naugrim). I mean, I guess it depends on the discovery of a genuine difference (besides cuts and elemental composition) between the two stones.
