You, Me and Cleopatra, Priests and Pirates all love Peridot. August babies, you are adorned with the mellow glow of peridot, also known as the evening emerald. Its clear, endearing and a true delight. Truly unique of all the gemstones. it is the only one that only comes in a single color!
This stone symbolizes love, warmth and openness. Pirates and Priests revered it because it was thought to ward off evil.
Many of Cleopatra's jewels contained peridots and Napolean gifted one to his beloved Josephine.
A true gift from Mother Nature and the heavens, because some come from volcanos and some from meteorites. ( how cool is that?!?! 
)
So, you August girls, unite and be proud of your gleaming, green glorious birthstone. You are unique - and definitely a one of a kind gem!!! Green Goddesses from the Heavens and from the Earth!
Happy Happy Birthday!
XOXO A
