 August Birthstone
Libra Gemstone
1st & 16th Anniversary Stone
The green-apple crispness of Peridot is a perfect complement to today’s lively fashion scene. Peridot is treasured by the Hawaiian peoples who believed the gem to be the tears of the Goddess Pele. Peridot was known in the ancient world as well – the Romans named the gem “Evening Emerald” as its brilliant color did not fade in lamplight, but instead seemed to glow in the evening hours. Peridot is believed to help dreams become reality and to drive away the evil spirits of night.
Peridot is rated “fair” for everyday wear with care. Avoid exposure to heat, contact with chemicals, and protect form scratches and harsh blows. To clean, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush and a solution of mild dish soap and warm water.
