Lucky gemstone for the August born as per astrology

Born in August? Or even if someone special you know was born in August, then gifting them something sensible is certainly your responsibility. And to ensure you have the most decent gift handpicked (even if for yourself) is this blog that details about the August birthstone.

Gemstones make one of the most decent gifts any time of the year. However, selecting the right gemstones is kinda daunting task. Gemstones, as per AstroTalk’s astrologers, are a storehouse of energies. These energies make up for the deficit of energies that you may experience at certain times due to the change in planetary position. For example, if the good energies of the planet Moon are not reaching you because of the Rahu’s strong presence, gemstones can help in ensuring that the gap is filled.

So with that being a fact, if one born in the month of August seeks to invite the right kind of energies into their life, then thankfully, a gemstone associated with the month of August can help them. And that gemstone would be Peridot. 

Peridot is a green coloured, semi-precious gemstone from the Olivine mineral family. The stone is said to be an astrological substitute for Emerald. The benefits of Peridot include intelligence enhancement, a boost in communication skills and good health.
