A Gemstone from the Earth (and Stars)
Peridot has a truly unique origin story. While most gems form in the Earth's crust, Peridot is forged deep in the magma of the upper mantle and brought to the surface by volcanic activity. Even more fascinating, rare crystals have been found in pallasite meteorites—making it a gemstone that literally comes from the stars. Its signature olive-green color is natural and untreated, radiating a consistent, beautiful glow.
Positivity and Peace
Historically known as the "Gem of the Sun" by ancient Egyptians, Peridot is believed to ward off darkness and bring warmth to the wearer. It is associated with peace, sleep, and emotional balance. As the birthstone for August and the traditional 16th-anniversary gift, it serves as a joyful reminder of summer’s vitality and the promise of new beginnings.
