Birthstones have been a symbol of personal significance for centuries, representing a person’s birth month or zodiac sign. The tradition of wearing a specific gemstone corresponding to one’s birth month dates back to biblical times, with the 12 gemstones on Aaron’s breastplate in the Book of Exodus associated with the months of the year and the 12 zodiac signs. The practice of wearing birthstones gained popularity in the 15th or 16th century in Germany or Poland and has since become a widely recognized tradition.

In the United States, a standardized list of birthstones was created in 1912 by the American Council Association of Jewelers, now known as the Jewelers of America. This list was later updated by the Jewelry Industry Council of America and The American Gem Trade Association to include new types of birthstones for each month of the year. Birthstones also have origins in Eastern Culture, with Hindu texts linking specific gems to deities, celestial bodies, and days of the week.

For the month of August, there are three birthstones to choose from—peridot, spinel, and sardonyx. However, peridot is considered the primary gemstone associated with August. Peridot is believed to represent strength, willpower, compassion, creativity, prosperity, and abundance. It is a stone that is said to open the wearer up to abundance and security, with the red varieties specifically linked to the root chakra for protection.

Sardonyx, the original birthstone for August, is a stone that is primarily connected to courage. It is believed to boost courage when facing significant events and is associated with clarity and focus, making it a great stone for completing projects. Sardonyx is also known for its protective properties, especially in relation to the root chakra.

Overall, birthstones hold a special significance for many people, representing not only their birth month but also embodying qualities and characteristics that resonate with them. Whether you choose peridot, spinel, or sardonyx as your August birthstone, each gem carries its own unique energy and symbolism that can enhance your life and bring positivity and abundance into your world.
