Peridot is one of the most visually striking gemstones, with its mix of bright summery greens and gorgeous glowing golden tones. Peridot is the birthstone for August and the gem for the 16th anniversary. It can also be given as an alternative choice for the 1st anniversary.

Its greens range from bottle green to an almost yellowish, olive color, and its surface appearance can often have a naturally oily, greasy look. The gem is also mildly pleochroic, meaning that it is possible to see different shades from different angles. Peridot is the zodiac gemstone for the sign Libra.

A gemstone with such a long and storied history comes with many a tale of legend and lore. Peridot has long been associated with the sun and it has been said to relive feelings of guilt, along with helping to calm feelings of fear and anger. It has been thought to open up ones ability to learn new things by increasing focus and cognitive ability, and with giving one the strength to persevere in challenging situations and times.

Caring for your jewellery: As with all your jewelry, store your Peridot away from your other gemstones, especially if you're traveling with them or moving them about. Any gems that are harder than Peridot (and this includes Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond, among others) will scratch Peridot if they come into contact. We always recommend keeping each piece in its own box or soft pouch. Keep your Peridot away from extreme heat sources too, so don't leave it on the windowsill where the heat of the sun could get to it for a prolonged period, or near a radiator or fire.
