Peridot was adopted as the official birthstone for August in 1912 by the American National Retail Jewelers Association (now known as the American Gem Society). This decision aimed to standardize birthstones, making it easier for jewelers to market and sell them. The choice of peridot, with its vibrant green color, was also influenced by its historical significance and association with light and beauty in various cultures.
