Peridot
August Birthstone
The Peridot gemstone meaning comes from the Arabic "fairat," the word for gem, and has been cherished for its healing properties since ancient times. Peridot was said to be created from the intense inferno of volcanoes, and is believed to be a gift from Mother Nature... con-sidered a symbol of the yearly renewal of the planet. Peridot was a favorite of Cleopatra, who wore the stone for its beauty and to ward off evil spirits.
