August Birthstone

August’s birthstone is the peridot, a vibrant green gemstone known for its connection to the sun and its unique formation deep within the Earth. Often referred to as the “gem of the sun,” peridot is prized for its radiant green hues, which range from a golden lime to an olive shade. It symbolizes strength, prosperity, and protection, with ancient lore suggesting it warded off nightmares and evil spirits. Found in volcanic rocks and even meteorites, peridot’s origins make it one of the few gemstones that form in extreme environments, adding to its allure and rarity.
