User:Peridot 3000

Peridot, the birthstone for those born in August, the eigth month. While the origin of the name is unknown, some dictionaries suggest the name originates from Latin or Arabic. Peridot is a bright yellow green colour, and is often confused with the dark green birthstone of May, Emerald.

Peridot can be found in many places around the world, including:


 * Brazil


 * Australia


 * USA


 * South Africa


 * Pakistan

Peridot is my favourite gem, not only because it is my birth stone, but because it is a beautiful gem.
