  August Birthstones

Font Color Green

Peridot is considered by some to be a tonic for
the entire body. It is said to protect the wearer
from negativity and to provide stress reduction and
relaxation.



Pirates were said to favor peridot because, when set in
gold, it would protect them from the terrors of the night.



The gem known as Peridot is born in fire; it is
found at the base of volcanoes and is the only gem
known to be found in meteors that fall to the earth.





Peridot is a gem variety of the mineral olivine,
Papakoleas Green Sand Beach is filled with olivine
crystals, a result of Hawaii's volcanic action.



Peridot is said to inspire purification and
encourage growth, intuition, healing, renewal
and rebirth.



Very large peridots, each more than 200 carats
in size, decorate the shrine of the Three Kings of
the Cologne, Cathedral in Germany.

Two of my favorite men were "peridots": my Dad and youngest brother. What gems they have been in my life! Thanks for this lovely post.

Ah, lovely graphics, my dearest "Featured Blogger." Congratulations!!! My mom and dad both have this birthstone. It's one of my favorites. When I first went to buy one, I remember I pronounced it wrong! Take care. Hope you are feeling well.

Great post re birthstones and history of August's Peridot. My wife was born August 31st.
Take care and hope the summer treats you well and you can stay out of the hospital. Hospitals are not a place to live, are they?
