Green in August: Peridot
Green
in August
Peridot is the August birthstone. It is the gemstone variety of olivine
and is the only gemstone found in meteorites! It only comes in one
color - green - but the shade of green will vary depending on how much
iron is present. The color can vary from yellow-green to a dark green,
similar to emeralds. Metaphysically speaking peridot is a stone of
lightness and beauty. A very spiritual person can wear peridot in a
necklace with the stone at the base of the throat and feel its soothing
effect. When used in a necklace, peridot is a protector against
negative emotions. Here are some beautiful
peridot creations by our Jewelry On Etsy team members ...
