💚 August Birthstone Guide: Discover the Gem That Reflects Your Summer Soul

Whether you're a collector, a gifter, or born under the summer sun yourself, this guide will help you uncover which August birthstone speaks to your personal story.

🌟 Why Does August Have Three Birthstones?

Unlike most months, August has not one—but three—birthstones to choose from:

• Peridot: A vibrant green gem formed in volcanic fire.

• Spinel: A rare, regal stone with a surprising history.

• Sardonyx: A classic, earthy gem layered with ancient symbolism.

Each of these stones earned its place through centuries of history, global sourcing, and evolving gemological recognition—giving August-born souls the rare gift of variety and personal choice.
