Peridot: August Birthstones - Peridot plus Spinel! (And much more)

[@stephanielucas6231]

I'm an August baby! I love my birthstone and I love sapphires as well

[@CathyHenry-r5s]

Happy New Year

[@gracesmith6519]

August birthday. Love, love, love my Peridot! Thanks for the good information.

[@greendragon8452]

Thanks for making this video! Peridot is actually my birthstone. When I first saw it as a kid and was told that was my birthstone, I hated it. But it grew on me over the years, and now I’m in love with its bright green color. I have three pieces of jewelry with peridot in them.

[@nikecruz7135]

I am a March person. For a long time I wore only Bloodstone. I only started wearing Aquamarine when I became 30 but I prefer red gems like garnets or rubies since red is my favorite color.

[@CathyHenry-r5s]

[@donnaglenrossi7458]

[@traceyleeherrera5247]

there's a peridot/olivine beach in Hawaii, it's on my bucket list emerald is my birthstone but I love, love, love peridot!

[@jline1890]

Same Peridot got me more than my birthstone Sapphire

[@saffirechanning7286]

Hi there, how ya doin'? Since my birthday is on August 8th, peridot is my birthstone and I LOVE it! That's why I wanna KNOW EVERYTHING about it.

[@gothmamasylvia462]

Garnet, and I love it!

[@neongarden8974]

my birthstone is peridot and i love it

[@ednagutierrez5293]

I love my period color. But very hard to find in jewelry rings in stores. Lol

[@melissasedgwick3521]

Would you consider pallasite from meteorites peridot if it's the right color?

[@RockyScience]

So happy that Spinel is now my birth stone too. Not a big fan of peridot. How about white Spinel as a diamond alternative?

[@susanmance9436]

My birthstone is peridot and I didn't always like it. But it has grown on me over the years to the point where I love it, and most other colored gemstones! From what I have read, the word peridot comes from French, and in French the "t" would be silent.

[@roberttyrrell2250]

Get a good custom cut peridot. He mentions S west. AZ NM are producing some nice mint greens. Find a lapidary have them cut one. Commercial cut peridot can be so pukey. A new mine in China is producing some nice grassy colors. Most Asian peridot is yellow olive.

[@davidalexander2340]

What are the price ranges of this Jam peridot

[@libelle8124]

I'm a November Child, so I think my Birthstone is the Topaz and I love the name "Topaz". It sound kind of... very deep with a sting. Wasn't there a James Bond Movie about a Topaz? Some say the Birthstone for November is the Citrine and I like the sound of that, too. It sounds acidic. Strangely, though, I don't own any the two. I actually prefer Amethyst. I don't know what it is, but whenever I see jewellery, I always fall in love with something the ones that have Amethyst. Perhaps that happened, when we visited Idar-Oberstein when I was a little girl and I saw a huge cluster (they called it "Druse") of Amethyst inside one of the old caves. I was so astonished and the guide let me have a look through his loupe and close up and when I looked I saw something that was for me like a different world or even a universe. That experience had such an impact on me, that I've been drawn towards amethysts ever since. If you ever want to see a different world, then look at an amethyst through a loupe :-)

[@boragoblue680]

Peridot, and it's awesome.

[@YourAverageJeweler]

I have definitely seen some Peridot that knocked my socks off!

[@lindanorris2455]

PERIDOT IS MY BIRTSTONE! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Luminiscope]

My birthstone is Peridot and I named my daughter that.

[@antualove7984]

Them peridot is not engagement ring idea only anniversary day idea?

[@mohammedouchen5404]

I am april born and love diamond specialy color diamond

[@psyavi6401]

Peridot is my birthstone but to honest. I've always felt us Leo's and August babies should have Ruby as our birthstone

[@lindanorris2455]

TURE THAT!! HOEVER IN ACNIANET TIMES PERIDOT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BE WORN BY AVERAGE CITIZENS IT WAS THE STONE OF ANCIENT KINGS.

[@traceyleeherrera5247]

🦁 being a Leo, of course you would think that 😆

[@psyavi6401]

@@traceyleeherrera5247 I fail to see what you're getting at

[@plagueflower849]

Im an August baby, and i love my birthstone but it's so hard to find

[@YourAverageJeweler]

I’m sorry to hear that. I find it can be hard to find in nice qualities, but I believe most jewelers carry some peridot. You may have to ask. It may just be in a less obvious location. Spinel can certainly be harder to find though.

[@virgo714]

My birthstone is Corundum (Var. Sapphire) and Im still looking for a stone that calls me for a pendant 💙💙! So far I only possess a moldavite pendant that I bought for my birthday

[@Chiqui_The_Rich_Pigeon]

I’m really liking your videos 🙂 but I would love to see more pics of the examples you are talking about. Like minute 2: 28 I thought you were going to show the color of the stone 😅 and in the aquamarine video too 🙈 but the pic of the massive aquamarine was absolutely spectacular! ✨😨✨ What if that meteor that had peridot was actually a piece of a peridot mine from an other planet that exploded and was just floating around in the universe and it just hit Hawaii? 😳 sorry my mind goes wild most of the time… 😅 it’s what happens when your an artist…

[@michellego8214]

My birthstone is amethyst. But i feel that the color doesn't attract me anymore. I have necklace and ring amethyst im still wearing it. But i get attracted to other gemstones like citrine and peridot. I have emerald and ruby as well. My next purchase will be sapphire, tanzanite, turquoise and blue topaz or aquamarine.

[@Clownfish273]

I’m a Leo … I never gave my stone thought but I just feel like I need one … but what’s the best way to have one for a man … necklace??? Bracelet??? Ring???

[@VerlieTomoson]

Hi I'm in August what my birth stone is

[@H2OFly]

April baby here. I hate that diamonds are so expensive. I have collections of the other birthstones but it's not easy to acquire bowls of diamonds. I offer my jewels on my alter.

[@elviramcdonald7930]

My birthstone is ruby but I like pearls the most

[@craigboydstun8615]

DECEMBER IS MY BIRTH STONE

[@jline1890]

I'm Sapphire but not attracted at all but Peridot got me real crazy and so I got a Peridot ring.

[@WFStudios]

I hated my birthstone until I learned more about it. It felt like a cheap Emerald before but now I'll probably get myself a ring

[@virgo714]

8:09 you the mineral olivine?? Peridot is the gem quality of olivine

[@donkulone590]

I think the name peridot came from the leventine name for emerald "petida(singular)/petidot(plural)" that over time got mixed up with olivine and not emerald, giving olivine the name peridot. Its supposed to represent good fortune!!! I don't think spinel would be a good alternative to peridot since the representations don't align. However, I believe jadeite would be a much more fitting alternative to peridot since both stones represent good fortune. Spinel would be more befitting as a July birthstone and alternative to ruby since both represent vitality. But don't be distracted and feel limited to a birthstone, get what ever you like!! :)

[@YourAverageJeweler]

I'm on your side. Thanks for sharing.

[@noneofyourbusines1476]

Father's... Ruby Mother's... Emerald I get Peridot. **sigh**

[@Omar_for_Gemstone]

Where is photo peridot?

[@that_n1ck623]

Peridot and topaz although I wish I was emerald green

[@tashstylesbeauty111]

Peridot, but i love onyx

[@SuesPilesOfShame]

I have a ring that I bought as a spinel, but it is white, so I only thought they came in white, this was very interesting to watch and you have set me off on a research trail.

[@YourAverageJeweler]

Definitely an interesting topic.

[@K4zuhaa]

Its on my ear

[@LivinLuxuriously]

Mine is diamond and I have always hated it 😣 My mom was aquamarine; my brother & father are September sapphire

[@s.b.m..688]

Hi, mine is August,,, and ilove Peridot,,, but it's said that even sunstone is our birthstone,,, and I have it.

[@roberttyrrell2250]

I'm Nov. Love Topaz. But not treated irradiated blue. Nat blue is rare/expensive. I love good Afghani Champion, or Imperial topaz Oruo Petro.

[@joeperetic3727]

me too

[@roberttyrrell2250]

Buy a " custom cut". Peridot is relatively inexpensive. So invest the $ you save into a good cut. Find a good lapidary, have them cut you one. For about $200 +/-( unset) you can have a gorgeous peridot. Arizona, New Mex produce some gorgeous mint green mtrls. Asian mtrl, tend to be more yellow olive green. If its a commercial cut can be pukey green. A new mine in N/ E China has some grassy greens. Get a good cut.

[@DJSTOEK]

💘

[@Omar_for_Gemstone]

I want look peridot rough

[@K4zuhaa]

Mine is peridot

[@patrickkyteler5585]

I'm born in August but I personally dislike Peridot because of the color. I mean REALLY dislike the color. Chartreuse just claws at the eyes, and this stone no matter the grade always falls in that color range. Sardonyx is appealing, especially if contrasted in big, chunky silver jewelry (I'm thinking Southwestern), but I've rarely seen it. Spinel looks interesting. I did some Googles and found out it has no cleavage and a hardness of 7.5 - 8. Nice. The refractive index (1.712 - 1.736) is just below corundum (1.76 - 1.78), which is comparable enough. I saw some pics for "cobalt blue spinel" that made my jaw drop.

[@YourAverageJeweler]

There's a lot of great stones out there!

[@kd8168]

I like your info but it’s hard to watch with the background music. It would be better without music.

[@CR-il8rf]

Spinel is strictly not red. Black spinel is quite nice

[@OriginalMariAnnaWolf]

Olivine/peridot/perido is my bday stone, but I don't like it T^T Idk y, as much as I love all crystals it's not my fav.. I would like a some kind of moonstone or rainbow moonstone that is labradorite, selenite, and some other. I do like green tho, but it's just something Idk y I don't fav this one. I'm trying to like it tho

[@krikat3485]

Mine is topaz, but I don’t care for it.... much rather have peridot, or even citrine or “Smokey topaz”. And, of course ruby, emerald, some sapphire..., etc!

[@edwarddjan8319]

[@debraturner4559]

My birth stone is Alexandrite, which I have no interest in buying. The cost is high for a tiny stone. Rubies and emeralds are prettier reds and greens and less money than Alexandrite. Luckily I love pearls.

Peridot and I have hated it my entire life.

[@yaqoobi6123]

I’m an August I don’t like peridot at all,

[@remedyhawke]

Okay, no. Sard is the medieval word for BROWN. SARDONYX IS BROWN ONYX. Red to orange chalcedony (in the feldspar family with onyx) is CARNELIAN. Being a jeweler you should know that. 😡
