August Birthstone - Peridot
Peridot is a super stone for all of those August babies!
The great thing about this stone is that is naturally occurs in just one colour - green. Ranging from a yellowish green, through to a deep, almost emerald green, peridots have been used in jewellery for many years.
King Edward VII declared it his favourite gem, and many of Cleopatra's emeralds were thought to actually have been peridots!
