Do You Know Which Gem Represents August?
It’s August and the gem of the month is Peridot. August babies, how much do you know about your stone? Here is a little insider information so you know what you are donning.
Peridot is derived from Greece and means ‘gold’ and ‘stone.’ For thousands of years, Peridot was gathered and mined on the Egyptian Island of Zagbargad. Today, Peridot can be sourced from Pakistan, Burma, Australia, Brazil, South Africa and the U.S.
Peridot was a trendy stone in the 1800s in the United States and Europe. In ancient times, this stone was looked to as a symbol of the sun.
