A couple of people have asked me why I haven’t posted about August’s birthstone yet, so here it is…
Lava Jewelry has many styles of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings featuring pretty green peridot, August’s birthstone. So don’t forget those August birthdays!
Peridot is a lime- to olive-green semi-precious gemstone that is a silicate mineral called olivine. Olivine is found as crystals in basaltic lava (like the lava in Hawaii).
From mineralminers.com: “Peridot is said to bring healing and vitality to the whole body. It is also said to increase patience, confidence and assertiveness. Peridot is said to help slow the aging process, and to aid in the treatment of digestive, heart, lung and eye disorders. It is also said to be helpful in facilitating the birthing process. ”
Question of the Day: Should I write more sci-fi posts and delve more deeply into my own geekdom?
