August Birthstone ~ Peridot

The August birthstone is the Peridot!
2.76cts Round Peridot, Diamond 14K Yellow Gold
It was called the gemstone of the sun - it has a fiery green sparkle.

The peridot has been mined for over four thousand years and was used by the Egyptians as early as 1500 BC. It is associated with medical treatment in ancient times for the heart, for fever, and for asthma. It is believed to reduce stress.

Peridot is considered a tonic for the whole body and protects the wearer from negativity!!!

The unusual gemstone comes only in one color - a brilliant olive green.

However, the intensity and shade of the green depend on the amount of iron. The iron content produces shades of yellow-green to brown-green. Olivine (peridot) mineral is abundant, however birthstone or gemstone quality are rare.
