AUGUST! The month of my birth! Peridot and Gladiolas. As you can see though, Peridot was not always THE stone to wear......
Wear a sardonyx or for thee,
No conjugal felicity;
The August-born without this stone,
`Tis said, must live unloved and lone.

For most of the 15th through 20 centuries the stones for the month of August were as follows: Sardonyx, Carnelian, Moonstone and Topaz ......hmmm I like Moonstone! As long as we're on the subject, I like Topaz too!.......
Then in 1912 all save the Sardonyx were dropped and Peridot was added.
Finally in 2013 Peridot became the sole stone for the month of August.
I like Peridot, I do, I'm just saying maybe we could give Moonstone another chance GRINS
