Peridot is one of August’s birthstones and has also been a tradition for 16th year marriage anniversaries. It is said to bring good health and sleep as well as act as a balancing stone for emotions and relationships. This green stone has many properties.

Each month has its own birthstones with vivid histories, mythologies, and traditions. For those Aries and Pisces born in March, you’ve got two different birthstones you can choose to adorn yourself with and that can work for whatever your fashion taste.

Did you know that there are two types of birthstones? The two types are “modern” and “traditional”.  Sometimes the modern and traditional birthstones for a month match, and sometimes they don’t. For the month of July, both birthstones are the ruby.
