August Green

I wasn't a true peridot fan for many years. Probably because I'd never seen a really stunning example of one. Sometimes the green color can be washed out or even a dirty, greyish green. This one, for example, isn't calling my name in the least.

But when you see a well-cut, intense green peridot, you might change your thoughts on August's birthstone, like I have. 

LadyAmythest69 posted pics of her luscious, grass green Peridot ring from M. Khordipour several years ago on Pricescope. I've never forgotten the color of her fabulous stone.

cellentani's 3.46 carat Pakistani peridot also blew my mind with the vibrant, clean green color. I think the pictures speak for themselves:

This 12.59 carat estate ring from Garrad London is simply spectacular.

Peridot is said to protect its wearers against negativity and nightmares. With images like this in my mind, I will be having sweet dreams tonight, indeed.
