Lava Jewelry has many styles featuring pretty green peridot, August’s birthstone. So don’t forget those August birthdays!

Peridot is a lime- to olive-green transparent gemstone that is a silicate mineral called olivine. Olivine is found as crystals in basaltic lava (like the lava in Hawaii and New Mexico).

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. ”
