August Birthstones

August has three beautiful official birthstones: peridot, spinel, and sardonyx 

 

Peridot: The primary and most famous August birthstone, known for its vibrant, lime-to-olive green glow. It is famously called the "gem of the sun" and is one of the few gemstones found in both volcanic lava and meteorites. 

Spinel: An official alternative that offers brilliant clarity and comes in a stunning variety of colors, including vivid pinks, deep reds, and blues. 
Sardonyx: The original, ancient August birthstone. It is a durable stone featuring striking, alternating layers of reddish-brown sard and white onyx
