August's Birthstone: Peridot
The Peridot, a gemstone with a vibrant green hue, is the birthstone for those born in August. This captivating stone is formed deep within the Earth’s mantle and brought to the surface by volcanic activity, giving it a unique and powerful origin story. According to Hawaiian mythology, Peridot represents the tears of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes, making it a stone rich in both history and mystique.
The Meaning and History of Peridot
The name "Peridot" is derived from the Arabic word "faridat," meaning "gem." Throughout history, Peridot has been associated with various legends and powers. It is believed to bestow the wearer with influence, power, and a prosperous year ahead. This stone was also a symbol of undying love and admiration; Napoleon famously gifted Peridot to his wife Josephine as a token of his affection.
In ancient times, Peridot was thought to offer protection against evil spirits, and dreaming of this gemstone was believed to warn of impending danger. This powerful symbolism, combined with its striking green colour, makes Peridot a meaningful and eye-catching choice for jewellery.
