Complete Guide To August Birthstones

How to Choose Your Birthstone: A Guide for Beginners

By Ouros Jewels Published about a year ago 3 min read

August is an exciting time on the calendar, and it's also a great month to celebrate with a new piece of jewelry.

August's Birthstone includes the Spinel, Sardonyx, and Peridot.

Peridot has a green color where the lava and chemical involvements create the extra hard structure, and from that, the color has been transformed from white to green. This means that it's a perfect choice for you if you're looking for a more durable alternative to diamonds. Peridot counts as the diamond alternatives for having similar characteristics as the diamonds.

Spinel Birthstone is pink, and it looks like a ruby gemstone (the birthstone of January), which is one of the most popular choices for lovers of fashion jewelry—or anyone who wants something pretty but still tough enough for everyday wear when you want something that doesn't get damaged easily by scratches or falls off your finger or hand easily because of its natural hardness/durability characteristics

Peridot Birthstone Meaning And History

Peridot is the birthstone of August. It is also one of the most popular gemstones in the world, with a slightly greenish-yellow color that is unique among minerals. Peridot was once thought to be an emerald, but it was later discovered that peridot is not related to any other gemstone. Its name comes from "peridot" meaning "beautiful stone."

The peridot is found in Madagascar, Brazil and Sri Lanka. It can also be found in some parts of Australia and Africa. The gemstone is used for metaphysical purposes as well as in jewelry. It is believed that if you wear a peridot pendant around your neck every day for a year, it will bring good luck and protection for you.

Spinal Birthstone Meaning And History

A spinal birthstone is a gemstone that is found in the spine, or vertebrae. It has been used for centuries as an amulet to help protect against disease and evil spirits. The word “spinal” comes from the Latin word for “backbone.”

The most common type of spinal birthstone is the ruby, which is red in color. Other types of spinal birthstones include green emeralds and yellow sapphires.

The history of using spinal birthstones goes back thousands of years to ancient Egypt where they were used as amulets to protect against evil spirits. In fact, there are many references to them being used as talismans in ancient Egyptian texts such as The Book Of The Dead (c.1500 BCE) by the scribe Imhotep or The Testament Of Amun-Ra (c.1800 BCE).

Sardonyx Birthstone Meaning and History

Sardonyx is a gemstone that has a rich history, dating back to Roman times. In fact, it was believed to have been used by the Romans as a reward for soldiers who had survived many battles.

Sardonyx is an orange-red variety of quartz crystal and similar in size to a kidney bean. It was used to make jewelry and other decorative objects throughout the Middle Ages. In fact, it was one of the most popular gemstones in medieval Europe until the discovery of diamonds in South Africa led people to prefer those instead.

Sardonyx is now considered rare but not extinct—it's still found in some countries such as Russia, Brazil and India.

Conclusion

Wearing a birthstone is a great way to keep your mind, body and spirit in balance. Wearing a birthstone is also a way to bring good fortune into your life. August Birthstones are believed to help you achieve your goals and make it easier for you to reach your full potential.

You can wear birthstones as part of an outfit, or even just on your finger! If you're not sure where to start, try wearing one that represents your current astrological sign. This will help you feel more connected with who you are right now, and it'll help remind you that there's always room for growth in your life.
