Peridot is the most famous August birthstone, known for its bright, lime green glow. The ancient, cosmic birthstone has been found in volcanic lava in Hawaii - and in meteorites that have fallen to Earth - some as old as 4.5 billion years. The Egyptians called peridot the “gem of the Sun” and believed it had special healing powers. In addition to being one of August’s birthstones, the luminous, beautiful peridot is the gem traditionally given to celebrate a 15th wedding anniversary. The strength and promise of new growth ahead symbolised in peridot is likely what led it to the wedding anniversary gift list.
