Peridot - August Birthstone
The Word peridot comes from the Arabic “faridat”, which means “gem”. This August birthstone was valued in many ancient and medieval cultures as a protective talisman, shielding the owner from evil spirits and “terrors of the night”. Known now as the stone of compassion, peridot is believed to bring good health, restful sleep and peace to relationships by balancing emotions and mind.
