One of the most beautiful of all peridots is high-set in the Cathedral of Cologne. Mysteriously it shines forth in the darkness of the dome, giving a lasting memory and quiet reflections to all who have seen it.
Those born in August may be happy with sardonyx or peridot.
Long the rows of ripened grain
Along the dusty winding lane;
Do not walk alone.
Take the moonlit lovers’ path
Hand in hand; to turn Lob’s wrath
Sardonyx is the stone.
September: Sapphire
