Peridot- August's Birthstone

Peridot is the gem variation of Olivine. Throughout the years, peridot has been confused with other gemstones including emerald, green garnet and apatite. Peridot, however, is the only gemstone with its characteristic yellowish-green color.

A large amount of the peridot on the market today actually is mined in Arizona, although the highest quality peridot is said to be found in Egypt and Myanmar.

Peridot is believed by many to bring abundance, physical health and emotional well-being to its wearer.
