Peridot is one of the birthstones for August. The ancient Egyptians called peridot the "gem of the sun;" they believed the stone would protect those who wore it from the terror of night, especially when set in gold. Many historians believe that the gems of Cleopatra's timeless emerald collection were actually peridots. The shrine built for the Three Holy Kings in Cologne, Germany's Cathedral is actually composed of peridots, not emeralds as initially believed. Peridot once symbolized the tears of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire and volcanos. Peridot represent prosperity, good fortune, love, and happiness.
Peridot is known as the "evening emerald" because its stunning lime-green color continues to shine through the night. Due to the natural origin of this stone colors may vary. Please remember photos typically do not do gems justice.
