August Birthstone – Stone of the Sun • Hope • Positivity • Dream Fulfillment

◎ A stone that supports a bright and positive outlook

Peridot is said to be the tears of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess from Polynesian mythology. Formed deep within the Earth’s mantle and often found near volcanoes, peridot shares a composition similar to that of meteorites, leading ancient people to revere it as a “stone of the sun” — believed to have descended from an exploding star.

Wearing this stone is said to illuminate the heart with light and hope, releasing negative emotions and creating a sense of freedom and openness.
It encourages sociability, leadership, and positive relationships, helping to build fruitful, long-lasting connections.
Peridot is also ideal for those who wish to stand out, gain recognition, and attract success and good fortune.
