What is the birthstone for August?

Peridot, the August birthstone, is a bright lime green.   Today Native Americans prize the stone as one of their most popular gems. Peridot is typically cut in the step and table fashions, but some stones are brilliant cut. The largest cut peridot was found in the Union of Myanmar. It weighs 310 carats and is housed in the Smithsonian Institute
