AUGUST BIRTHSTONE
The official August birthstone is Perodot, the yellowish green gemstone known to the Egyptians as "the gem of the sun", is the official August birthstone. Formed deep in the earth's magma and erupted to the surface through volcanoes, this August birthstone has also been found in meteorites and comet dust.
Named for the Arabic word faridat, which means "gem", peridot is also known as chrysolite, or olivine – the group of minerals to which peridot belongs. Peridot is long believed to ward off evil, cleanse the mind of negativity and aide friendship.
Peridot has been called "an evening emerald" for the way it fluoresces a brilliant green under artificial light. There are even many historians who believe that Cleopatra's notorious emerald collection was actually peridot.
Wearing the peridot can help you follow your passion and the true desires of your heart. Many people believe that the stone increases willpower and enhances focus, as it allows one to let go of pessimism and all the negative thoughts of the past.
