AUGUST: PERIDOT

Warmth, friendliness, understanding, openness in love and relationships.
Peridot is considered a tonic for the whole being warding off many physical ailments. It is also considered a ‘feel good’ stone that nourishes the ego, promoting good mental health. The stone enhances confidence and assertion without aggression. It helps a person see their own light and recognize that they are deserving of love. Ancient Egyptians used peridot to clean and heal the heart. Peridot is one of few gemstones that occurs in only a single color; in this case, green.
