PERIDOT, "THE EVENING EMERALD"


The Peridot has long been called “an Evening Emerald,” since under artificial light the stone glows a brilliant green. Throughout history there have been many legends stating the peridot possesses a strong magical power. It has long been considered an aid to friendship in that it was reputed to free the mind of envious thoughts. In addition, it has been suggested the the beautfiul stone brings its wearer good luck, peace and success.

Peridot is the accepted birthstone for August and the stone for the zodiac sign Libra.

As with all gems, peridots should be protected from scratches and sharp blows. Avoid drastic temperature changes and do not clean the stone in home ultrasonic cleaners.
