I'm so excited to post about this lovely August's Birthstone

Peridot is the birthstone for the month of August.

"a green semi-precious mineral, a variety of olivine"

Peridot is named after the French word peritot, meaning gold, because the mineral can vary towards
this color.

 This gem is excellent for use in recovery from tobacco or inhalant dependencies, as well as other addictions.

 Associated with the sun, Peridot has been prized since the earliest civilizations for its protective powers to drive away the forces of darkness. Set in gold and worn around the neck or bound to the left arm, it was used as a charm against sorcery and magic, evil spirits, night terrors, and madness. It cured cowardice, calmed anger, as well as brightening the wit.

Well, I don't believe these spiritual thingies, but what I do believe is that Peridots can be found in lava, meteorites, and deep in the earth’s mantle. Peridot is similar to the emerald but softer in intensity.

Well...that's Peridot too!
Anyways I'm sure y'alls heard about this gem before. It's because Peridots have long been called “an Evening Emerald,” for under artificial light, the stone glows a brilliant green. Cool...

Ametrine

Hello everyone! Today I'm posting about Ametrine~

"Ametrine, also known as trystine or by its trade name as bolivianite, is a naturally occurring variety of quartz. It is a mixture of Amethyst and Citrine with zones of purple and yellow or orange"

Wow! An amalgam of both Amethyst and Citrine. Those two are Quartzes so I guess it makes Ametrine a Double Quartz type??

citrine

Ametrine is a rare and unusual stone. Because the color zoning effect is natural, no two ametrines will ever be exactly alike. It is among an elite group of gems, because as of now there is just one source of this treasure in the world. 

THIS IS A RARE GEM

Ametrine is very helpful in getting rid of depression. This leads to inner peace and tranquility.

Many believe that it contains the powers of amethyst and citrine in one stone, making it a very powerful money stone as well as an excellent via to higher psychic awareness and spiritual enlightenment.

 It is used for healing. The healing powers of the gemstone have been used for centuries by healers, shamans and medicine men all over the world. Ametrine is said to be of help for headaches, pancreatic disorders, backache and alcoholism.

Turquoise

Turquoise everyone!
 tur·quoise

I'm posting about this wonderful gem today, remember I'm not gonna tell you about the color turquoise but the gem! ....and it's turquoisetastic XD

"a semiprecious stone, typically opaque and of a greenish-blue or sky-blue color, consisting of a hydrated hydroxyl phosphate of copper and aluminum."

Whatever that means

Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man’s history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It is a stone of protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch. Aaaa touchy touchy.

It is colored by copper, which creates some of the most vivid blues and greens in gems. Explain much?

This stone would protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. The turquoise is the symbol of friendship. It also brings peace to the home. So, give your BFFs this gem and hang it onto a pendant, it'll look good <3

It's like Smoky Quartz, brings good lucks and all. If you want to know more, do click here

Fluorite

So....as usual! Today Imma posting about Fluorite~

 fluo.rite

beautiful...

"a mineral consisting of calcium fluoride that typically occurs as cubic crystals, colorless when pure but often colored by impurities."

This gem is one of favourites aside from Rhodonite which I posted earlier. 

Hailed as “the most colorful mineral in the world,” Fluorite forms in a wide variety of hues, typically purple, green, yellow, blue, and in pure form - colorless, though specimens of pink, red, white, brown and black also occur. It is frequently multi-colored with bands, or zones, of color that intermingle

Fluorite promotes spiritual and psychic wholeness and development, protection, and brings peace.It also protect from chaotic vibrations by evening them out in an orderly manner. Cool!

Fluorite is an excellent “focus stone” for maintaining discipline in a health or fitness plan by incorporating structure into daily life and garnering strength and endurance for physical activities, such as Pilates, yoga, running, or muscle training. It also assists in balance and coordination.
