This will be a great addition to anyone's jewelry collection or if someone wanted August's birthstone. Peridot (from the American Gemstone Society) - Peridot is the rare gem-quality variety of the common mineral olivine, which forms deep inside the Earth's mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanoes. In Hawaii, peridot once symbolized the tears of Pele, the volcano goddess of fire who controls the flow of lava. It is thought to be a stone of compassion and with it's green hue, invokes cheer and creativity to the wearer.
