Those born in August have Peridot as their birthstone, and they are usually gifted in celebration of the 15^th wedding anniversary.

The ancient Egyptians called it "the stone of the sun," and believed that it could keep night ghosts and evil spirits away.

The word Peridot is of French origin, but the original root comes from the Arabic "faridat" which means "treasure". Hence its association with good fortune, luck and prosperity.

This mineral is known in Mineralogy by the name of olivine, but in gemology the name Peridot is used more frequently. The word olivine refers to the green color of the olive.
