August Gemstone 💚 Peridot - the gem of the Sun.
Peridot is a stunning gemstone known for its unique, vibrant green color, which ranges from a yellowish-green to a rich olive and even a brownish-green. It is one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one color.
Key Facts:
💚Composition: It is the gem-quality variety of the mineral olivine.
💚Origin Story: Unlike most gems, peridot is formed deep within the Earth’s mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanic activity. It has even been discovered in meteorites ( Sericho Palasite Meteorite)
💚History: Ancient Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun” and mined it over 3,500 years ago on a volcanic island in the Red Sea. It is also associated with God Ra, the Sun God.
💚Symbolism: It is associated with light, protection, and good fortune. It was believed to ward off night terrors, jealousy, and evil spirits.
Prized for its dazzling, lime-green glow, peridot is a beautiful and accessible gem that has been adored since ancient times.
