Did You Know? Whether a gem is offered at a traditional jewelry store counter, an internet shopping site, or a television broadcast, the journey always involves a great deal of effort. Countless hours of labor are needed to being a gem from mine to market. Source: https://www.gia.edu.
August Birthstone: Peridot: Yellow-green gem variety of the mineral olivine. Found as nodules in volcanic rock, occasionally as crystals lining veins in mountains of Myanmar and Pakistan, and occasionally inside meteorites. Spinel: Occurs in orange, red, pink, purple, blue, violet, and bluish green. Intense reds are caused by chromium, the same trace element that colors ruby and emerald.
