Frequently asked questions
-
What are August's birthstones?
August has three official birthstones: peridot (the primary and most recognized), sardonyx (the original traditional stone), and spinel (added as a modern alternative in 2016).
-
Is peridot natural or treated?
Peridot is almost always completely natural and untreated. Its green color comes from iron in the crystal structure. This is one of peridot's biggest advantages over many other colored gemstones that are routinely treated.
-
What zodiac signs are associated with peridot?
Peridot is associated with Leo (July 23 through August 22) and Virgo (August 23 through September 22). For Leo, peridot is thought to enhance warmth and confidence. For Virgo, it is said to promote healing and emotional balance.
