August brings long summer days, golden sunsets, and a gemstone that perfectly reflects the warmth of the season: peridot. With its striking green hue and luminous sparkle, peridot has been admired for thousands of years. At Dickinson Jewelers, we love helping our customers discover the meaning behind this remarkable stone and find pieces that let its beauty shine.
The History and Meaning of Peridot
Peridot has one of the most fascinating histories of all gemstones. Ancient Egyptians mined it on the island of Zabargad in the Red Sea, where it was called the “gem of the sun.” Many cultures believed peridot had protective powers, warding off nightmares and bringing peace to its wearer. The stone was also valued for its association with prosperity and good fortune, making it a cherished gem throughout history.
Today, peridot is known as a symbol of renewal and growth. Its fresh green color is often linked to harmony, healing, and happiness, making it the perfect choice for August birthdays or anyone seeking a gemstone with both beauty and positive energy.
