Peridot, The Evening Emerald

Peridot is the August birthstone, but you don't have to be an August baby to fall in love with this velvety green gem. Peridot is a popular gem choice for both men and women, so you'll find it set in jewelry of all types. Take a look, and decide if this stone the Romans called the Evening Emerald should be a part of your jewelry collection. It's definitely one of my favorites.
