Peridot is a beautiful, vibrant green gemstone and is the birthstone for those born in August. Viewed by many as a stone for inner growth and emotional healing, positive energy and protection.
Peridot has been in use for over 4,000 years and was regarded as the “gemstone of the sun” by Ancient Egyptians because of its inner glow which they believed resembled the sunlight trapped in the stone.
This association with the sun also closely links peridot to the fire and warmth of the Zodiac sign Leo (July 23-August 22) and to Virgo (August 23-September 22) as it is a stone believed to promote inner calm and clear thinking.
The color of this stone ranges from a sparkling lime green to a darker olive tone that calms and brings joy at the same time. It’s no wonder that many believe it attracts prosperity, good luck and a joyous, happy outlook on life.
This beautiful stone looks exceptionally elegant paired with either gold or silver whether the stone is polished and shaped, or a crystal in its natural form.
