August - Peridot

For those born in the magical summer month of August, the luscious peridot is their birthstone.

Peridot is one of few semi-precious gemstones that can only come in one true colour and for peridot that is a deep yet vibrant green that at times can show a warm flash of yellow – quite like a ray of sunshine.

This delightful gem has frequently been referred to as a ‘pocket full on sunshine’, it has the mystical power to improve the mood and spark creativity in those who wear it – similarly to how the sun can influence positivity. By wearing Peridot all year round, you can always have a slice of summer sunshine to inspire you.

The glorious peridot can be associated with peace and health, and is said to harmonize the mind and body when worn. A peridot’s green energy can activate the Heart Chakra by balancing emotions which can lead to improvements in relationships and more appropriate responses to certain situations. This will also help you understand your own needs and emotions clearly.
