I know and understand that but I've been in the precious and semi-precious gemstone business for over 20 years and in the industry, it's pronounced peri-doe.

I guess if you're referring to the town of Peridot, it's pronounced one way and if you're referring to the stone, it's the other way. Such is the English language.
