Silver Bracelet Birthstone Golden August - Peridot

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that are truly out of this world.

It forms deep within Earth's mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanoes.

But it's also found in meteorites (pallasites), and comet dust analyzed by the Stardust probe contained peridot — it is, quite literally, a gemstone from space.

Its green color comes from iron within its structure, not from a foreign impurity.

The Egyptians called it the 'gem of the sun' and mined it over 3500 years ago on Zabargad Island in the Red Sea.

Many historians believe that Cleopatra's famous 'emeralds' were in fact peridot.

And the 'emeralds' in the Reliquary of the Three Magi at Cologne Cathedral are also, in fact, peridot.

Its color ranges from lemon green to olive green, always with that warm, subtly golden glow. It comes from Pakistan, Myanmar, and Arizona.

Associated with positive energy, joy, and protection, peridot is August's birthstone.

With a hardness of 6.5–7, it's fairly durable, but scratches and acids can affect its surface.

It deserves moderate care. Its luminous tone is beautifully highlighted in yellow gold and 925 silver.
