Happy August everyone! The month of August is a special one; back to school shopping, getting that extra pool time in, and of course, birthdays! August has three birthstones: the famous peridot, the versatile spinel, and the traditional sardonyx.
Peridot is found in hardened lava brought to the surface from deep within the Earth and from meteorites from outer space. Because of the extreme conditions this stone is created in, it's rare to find in large sizes. Spinel has been mistaken for famous gemstones for centuries due to it's wide range of vibrant colors (red, pink, orange, blue, purple, teal) and celebrates the 22nd wedding anniversary. Sardonyx is the most ancient August birthstone, dating back to the Romans. Its red, orange, and white bands make it a popular and unique stone used for cameos.
Come in and ask us about any of the three above to celebrate this month. We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful week!
