August Birthstone — Peridot

Colour: Peridot exists exclusively in shades of green — from bright yellowish-lime to rich olive green. The most desirable stones display a vivid, pure lime green with strong saturation and minimal yellow or brown undertones. The intensity of green is directly determined by the iron content within the crystal.

Origin: Pakistan (Kohistan region) produces the finest Peridot in the world — stones of exceptional size, vivid colour, and strong clarity that are prized by gemologists globally. Myanmar (Burma) is also recognised for producing high-quality deep green specimens.

Quality: Colour is the primary quality factor in Peridot — the most valuable stones display a vivid, pure lime green of strong saturation with no yellowish or brownish secondary tones. A richer iron content within the crystal produces a deeper, more desirable green — making iron concentration a direct indicator of quality. Transparency is an equally important quality characteristic — the finest Peridot is eye-clean, with strong internal light transmission and a vitreous, glassy lustre that gives the stone its characteristic lively, bright appearance. Stones with dull lustre, visible inclusions, or brownish undertones are significantly lower in value. Natural, untreated Peridot of vivid pure green with strong transparency is the definitive quality standard.

Price: Natural certified Peridot ranges from approximately ₹500 to ₹5,000 per carat, depending on colour intensity, clarity, and origin.

Benefits: Peridot brings positivity and a sense of renewal, improves emotional clarity, and helps protect against negative energy.
