Peridot - August birthstone


Peridot, an olive-green gemstone, is mined all over the world. The stone can be varying shades of green, depending on the percentage of iron ore found in the particular deposit. It can be as pale as yellow, or as dark as a brownish-green. It belongs to the Olivine family of gemstones and can be found in lava or occasionally in meteorites.
Some of the healing properties associated with peridot include a protection against evil, and especially against nightmares. It is said that babies born in August are lucky to be guarded by peridot’s good fortune. Success, good fortune and loyalty are also ascribed to the sparkling stone.

I love to use peridot in my jewelry because it brightens and gives life to any piece. It looks good with either gold or silver, as you can see in the following photos. More info about these pieces is at my shop on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/il-en/shop/HannaPelegJewelry?ref=seller-platform-mcnav and if you can not find it there ask me about it.
