Peridot is the August birthstone. This green gemstone is believed to help with nightmares, bring prosperity, fertility and healing. Peridot was once called the "gem of the sun" in ancient times.
Peridot is actually a variety of the mineral olivine. Good quality peridot looks like a delicious green apple. The best peridot comes from Italy and has a rich olive color. Peridot from America is a light yellow green color.
Peridot is a unique gem in that it is formed in volcanic fire. The best source of peridot is in America on the San Carlos Native American Reservation. Peridot was once known as chrysolite in ancient times. Peridot comes in only one color, green. This is unusual as most gemstones come in at least a few colors. Top quality peridot should have no inclusions even under magnification.

Green color is a big weakness of mine, and all these blings are just amazing. This olive-green color is my favorite in peridot as it is very natural and the topmost quality. The pearls combined with a few peridots are giving this necklace a very pleasing appearance. It is an elegant yet trendy piece. The other neckpiece also looks very enchanting. I am going to purchase it for my August-born best friend. She will be overjoyed to see such a stylish jewel.
