Peridot: August's Birthstone of Light, Healing & Protection
Known as the "gem of the sun," Peridot is August’s radiant birthstone—celebrated for its vibrant green glow and powerful healing energy. In ancient times, it was worn as protection against evil spirits and dark forces. Today, it’s still believed to shield the aura, neutralize toxins, and release emotional blockages.
Uniquely formed in the Earth’s upper mantle and brought to the surface by volcanic activity, Peridot is one of only two gemstones not formed in the crust (the other is Diamond). This fiery origin fuels its strength and transformative energy.
Peridot is said to:
-
Encourage emotional balance and reduce stress
-
Strengthen the immune system and improve skin and vision
-
Support mental clarity and focus—making it a favorite among students
-
Help overcome fear, depression, and negativity
Whether worn for its beauty or metaphysical power, Peridot is a timeless symbol of joy, growth, and protection—perfect for August birthdays and beyond.
