Well Peridotite does have magnetic properties, so it is safe to assume it is normal for Peridots to have magnet based powers. As for general telekinesis, I am not sure.

I have a theory: Before the rebellion, Homeworld realized that the resources to make more were starting to decline at an alarming rate due to their destructive, yet vital need of creating more of their kind. So to combat this, they tried taking over Earth for its similar resources. With that becoming a total bust, Homeworld was forced to suffer with the lack of resources and had to cut back, making "cheaper" gems with what little they had left.
