Why Choose Peridot as an August Birthstone?

Peridot has been associated with warmth, growth, and protection. Its golden-green color was once believed to ward off negativity and sharpen awareness. Beyond its radiant appearance, peridot is seen as a stone of renewal, supporting emotional clarity, restoring balance, and helping the wearer reconnect with inner truth. Worn as spiritual jewelry, it offers calm energy and a quiet sense of forward movement. As August’s primary birthstone, peridot brings light, not only in color, but in intention.

August Birthstone: Peridot FAQs

What does the August birthstone peridot represent?

Peridot has long been valued as a symbol of renewal, clarity, and emotional openness. Its bright green tone is often connected to fresh energy and a sense of personal growth.

Is peridot suitable for everyday wear?

Peridot scores 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, which means it’s moderately durable but not scratch-resistant like harder stones. With proper care and a secure setting, it can be worn daily, especially in earrings or pendants.

How is peridot different from other green gemstones like emerald or green tourmaline?

Unlike emerald’s deeper blue-green or tourmaline’s darker tones, peridot has a more citrus-like green with golden undertones. It typically appears clearer and brighter, making it a distinctive choice among green gems.

Are there other birthstones for August besides peridot?

Yes. August is also connected to spinel and sardonyx. Spinel comes in vivid reds, pinks, and purples, while sardonyx shows layered patterns of reddish-brown and white. Even so, peridot remains the most widely recognized birthstone for the month.

How can I tell if a peridot is real?

Genuine peridot has a distinct olive or lime green hue with a natural glow, often without enhancements. Unlike fakes made of glass or other green stones, real peridot shows strong double refraction, creating a slightly blurry or doubled appearance when viewed under magnification. Buying from a certified jeweler and requesting documentation is the safest way to confirm authenticity.
