Time-Honored Gems Are August Birthstones
Peridot and sardonyx are August birthstones noted for friendship symbolism. Peridot, found in the Red Sea region and in Burma, Hawaii, Australia, and parts of the United States, is a single green color used in rings and jewelry. Sardonyx, a banded or uniform colored stone, is used for cameos and engravings and is sourced from Germany, Brazil, Uruguay, Madagascar, India and the Ural Mountains.
