Peridot the August Birthstone

I know I am going out of order, I think I left off with Aquamarine, so way out of order, lol. But, Peridot is the birthstone for August, and my birthstone, so I have to post about it now. To view some beautiful Peridot jewelry, visit my Etsy store, by clicking the Etsy mini on the left hand side of this blog. The first video, is just some of the most beautiful specimens of Peridot. The second video talks about the healing powers of Peridot, and the last video which I still have to watch, looks awesome. It tells how to test your Peridot, to see if it is the real thing, by using magnetism. Cool! I also think this would be an awesome Science experiment for my two homeschooled children, oh yeah! Enjoy!

Lovely Sterling Silver Green Peridot Ring

I finally got to make some new jewelry pieces, with traditional settings, and gemstones from my personal collection. I love Peridot! It is my birthstone, and in the lime green, that looks like fresh grass, is my favorite hue. Peridot can have more yellow undertones, and it can also be bland and blah. I love vibrant, bright, beautiful Peridot. The ring below is sterling silver, and this ring is made well with a thick silver band. It is a size 7, and I would wear it as an engagement ring. You can view it in my Etsy store, along with my other awesome items, of course.

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March, and I hope to get some info up soon about this beautiful gemstone. I do have blue gemstones, in my collection, and some jewelry, but I am not positive they are Aquamarine.

Fun Facts About Peridot the August Birthstone

Every month I try to share a fun video, or two, about the birthstone for that month. August is the Peridot, and my birthstone. I love Peridot, especially a fine lime green one. It is such a lively and beautiful color. Most gemstone will come in a variety of colors, not Peridot. It will always be green. Peridot may have more yellow, or a darker green, but it will never be red, blue, or purple. Peridot used to have more value than diamonds, thanks to the Egyptians. Enough from me, though, watch the video and see for yourself. After, you can check out my Etsy shop, to see if I have any Peridot available for sale. I do, lol. I hope to get more done soon. I have some pretty pear shape Peridot, just haven't had the time to get it made into jewelry.

Lime Green, Kermit Green, Peridot Green Crocheted Infant Baby Frog Snuggle Buddy

This is the fourth snuggle buddy I have made. They are all available in my store. I still want to do a puppy, and a kitty with better ears. I love this color green too. It looks a lot like Peridot, the birth stone for August. It is vibrant and lively. This is big enough that an infant or toddler could easily carry it around with them. I think these would also be adorable for a new puppy just leaving its mother, or kitten. Full grown pets probably would love to chew it, lol. These are just fun to make. I will be starting the baby cocoon that will have some pink fluffy trim. It could be paired with the angel wings I shared earlier. I also started, last night, a blanket that I just fell in love with. It probably will take me forever to complete. I have jewelry to share, and more to make too. Plus, I am still painting.

Did You Know There Is Peridot In Arizona?

Now don't go running to Arizona to mine for some. It is on protected Native American land. Beautiful, lime green, big pieces of Peridot come out of the ground here. Peridot is the birthstone for August. It is also my birthstone, and I love it. The video below is not all that exciting, but wait until you see the huge Peridot piece found at the end of the video.

Theme Friday Peridot Green

Theme Friday post for 8/9/2013 Peridot Green. Since my birthday is in August, and Peridot is the birthstone for August, I decided to do a lime green Theme Friday. Each week, on my Facebook page, I offer up a theme. Anyone can share an item that fits the theme. Each item shared gets tweeted, pinned and shared on my personal FB page, then gets a post right here on this blog each Saturday. Sound fun? Then join in! This week I got two items to share. A Kermit the Frog green crocheted baby cocoon with hat. This would make a great photo prop, Halloween costume, or just to keep baby warm while sleeping. Next, is a lovely Lime Green and Teal Bottle Cap necklace. These are so cute and would make awesome gifts or stocking stuffers. Keep some handy for those surprise birthday parties. Click each highlighted link to go to their respective Etsy stores to buy or browse some more. Thanks for looking. Leave me a comment. I love comments.
