Peridot is the chosen gemstone for the Leo star sign and those born in August. Olive green peridot rings contain the gemstone for your 16th wedding anniversary.
As part of a year long Gregorian Birthstone Poem, August’s verse quotes peridot as the gemstone to wear for preventing infidelity and feeling unloved and alone. By wearing peridot rings, nightmares and demons are said to be banished and peridot will attract good luck, prosperity and growth instead.
Wear a peridot or for thee,
No conjugal fidelity,
The August born without this stone,
`Tis said, must live unloved; alone.
(Published in 1870 by Tiffany & Co, author unknown)
Peridot is a lighter shade of green than its sister gemstone the emerald. Peridot gemstones contain shades of warm green ranging from olive to lime. Wearing a peridot ring represents happiness and calm with the essence of summer captured in each peridot gem.
