Olivine, spinel and brown and red striped agate are the three August birthday stones.
Olivine birthstones are known to form under extreme conditions and can be found in hardened lava. These magmas carry olivine from deep in the mantle, and olivine can also be found in meteorites from outer space.
Spinel birthday stones have only recently been taken seriously because today consumers are looking for alternatives to rubies,which for centuries have been mistaken for red spinels.
Brown and red striped agate is the original August birthday stone, with a long history dating back more than 4,000 years.
