JTV Presents Peridot: Birthstone for August

Ranging in hues from tart and brilliant citrusy greens to more mellow spring greens, it is likely that peridot occurs in the shade of green that suits your fancy.

As a matter of fact, it is said that Cleopatra's famous "emeralds" were actually fine quality peridot! You can learn much, much more about peridot in JTV's Learning Library. Read the article by JTV's co-founder and Graduate Gemologist Jerry Sisk "Peridot--August's Birthstone" to learn more about peridot's distinguished history.
