Frequently Asked Questions

What makes peridot special as August's birthstone?
Peridot is uniquely formed deep in the earth's mantle through volcanic activity, giving it powerful transformative energy. Its sunny green colour and ability to release old patterns perfectly suit August's theme of late-summer abundance.
Does peridot only come in green?
Yes, peridot is one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one colour — green. The shade ranges from yellow-green to olive to bright lime, depending on the iron content within the crystal.
How should I care for peridot jewellery?
Clean peridot with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners, sudden temperature changes, and harsh chemicals. At 6.5–7 hardness, it's suitable for most jewellery but should be protected from hard impacts.
