My Birthday Symbols For Friday, August 27, 1954: birthstone, birth flower, zodiac and more.

Your birthstone is:

Peridot - The gem of Spirit and Expression

Peridot is the National gem of Egypt. Ancient Egyptians knew it as 'the gem of the sun'. In the middle ages, Europeans brought peridot stones back from the Crusades to decorate church plates and robes. Peridot was also known to ancient Hebrews and is listed both as one of the stones used by Aaron and found in the text of the apocalypse (Revelations). A few jewelry historians are now convinced that some, maybe all of the emeralds Cleopatra was famous for wearing, were not actually emeralds, but Peridots from Egypt. Anger is an emotion peridot has been known to be very beneficial for. The stone calms the nervous system, helping to dissolve emotional tensions and bringing balance to the system. It actually attracts love and calms raging anger from within. It alleviates jealousy, resentment, and spite, and reduces stress.
