The Affiliation of Peridot and Hot Summer Heat
Peridot are made by volcanic basalt under extreme heat and pressure. Therefore, Peridot are symbolically hot being created from lava under high heat condition, hence the association with summer heat. A rather simple but convincing explanation.
One can also look into the zodiac. Leo’s (July 23-Aug 22) ruling planet is the all-powerful Sun. Astrology aside lion is often tie to the Sun for both represents the majestic and powerful. In many aspects too we can see the association: the lion’s mane compares with solar ray; lion’s yellow fur correlate with color of the sun… Rationally we can establish the link between extreme heat, lion, and Peridot all together as a representation of August’s summer.
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep22) shares August with Leo. The color green and brown (being an Earth tone) are known to be Virgo’s lucky color, perfectly captures by Peridot’s unique shade of olive green. Compare to the richer green of Emerald, the specific shade of green in Peridot is an acquired taste. But once you fell in love with it you can never go back! If you are a Virgo then Peridot is an especially worthwhile gemstone to consider for this very reason.

The Symbolism of Calla Lily Perfectly Matches Peridot
Peridot is a naturally good fit to the lily flower for both contains similar symbolic meaning of growth and beauty. The LILY necklace is in a stylized form of the calla lily flower.

Rating a 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, a fair toughness makes Peridot suitable for rough cut. The LONDON necklace is miniature spoon influenced by British afternoon tea. Imagine the raw Peridot as a cube of sugar ready to be serve with milk tea. This one is mint favored.
