Peridot
Peridot, known as “the gem of the sun,” can light on your loved one’s August birthday with its legendary magical powers and healing properties.
Peridot is a gemstone that forms deep in the Earth, and is brought to the surface by volcanoes. In Hawaii, peridot symbolizes the tears of Pele, the goddess of the volcano. Peridot is often used in healing ceremonies by Hawaiian Kahunas.
Today, the majority of the peridot supply comes from Arizona, but it is also mined in China and Pakistan. This gemstone comes in several color variations ranging from yellowish green to brown, but most jewellery wearers are attracted to the bright lime greens and olive greens. Peridot, in smaller sizes, is often used in beaded necklaces and bracelets.
