Peridot is one of the oldest known gemstones, with records of its use dating back as far as 1500 BC. The ancient Egyptians were among the first to treasure it, mining it on the volcanic island of Zabargad in the Red Sea. They called peridot the "gem of the sun," believing it protected against nightmares and evil spirits. Some historians even suggest that many of Cleopatra’s famous “emeralds” may have actually been peridots.
Throughout the Middle Ages, peridot was also prized by European crusaders who brought the stones back from the Middle East, incorporating them into church treasures and royal jewelry. Its vibrant hue made it a favorite among clergy members, symbolizing divine inspiration.
Peridot has long been associated with light, growth, and renewal. Its bright green color reflects the lushness of nature and has been linked to healing, vitality, and positive energy. Often regarded as a stone of compassion, it’s thought to bring good health, restful sleep, and peace to relationships by balancing emotions and mind.
For those born in August, peridot is said to provide protection, confidence, and clarity—a perfect talisman for forging ahead boldly during life’s late-summer moments. It’s also linked to the heart chakra, making it a meaningful choice for love, compassion, and emotional well-being.
Today, peridot is cherished for its affordability and striking beauty, with its natural green tones ranging from yellow-green to olive. It’s often used in minimalist and nature-inspired jewelry, making it a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or anyone who could use a little extra light in their life.
Whether you’re drawn to its ancient lore or its fresh, summery sparkle, peridot remains a gemstone rich in history, meaning—and style.
