August's birthstone is peridot, a bright yellow-green with a fresh, sunlit character.
Peridot is a distinctive olive-to-lime green with a golden undertone, one of the few gems that occurs in only one color. It feels lively and warm.
Long linked to the sun, peridot is said to bring warmth, good fortune, and protection from negativity. Its cheerful green brightens any palette it joins.
