Known as the stone of compassion, Peridot calms anger by offering renewal to all things. Also referred to as the evening emerald, Peridot is connected to harmony, good health, and peacefulness. Tradition suggests the Peridot, which is the bright green colour of nature, can enchant lives, create a lightness of being and uplift the wearer as a symbol of strength and insight. Peridot is the birthstone for those born in August.
