The birthstone for the month of August is peridot. In ancient Egypt peridot was held in high esteem by the pharaohs, and it is still considered the national gem of Egypt today. Peridot is associated with joy and light and is known as the “gem of the sun.”

In order to increase all forms of abundance in your life, place a peridot gemstone on your altar or sacred space. Surround the peridot with coins to symbolize monetary gain. Visualize the abundance that you want in your mind’s eye and see the light radiating from the gemstone outward to the coins. Take a deep breath and chant these words to manifest what you desire:

I am grateful for the
prosperity I have today.
I ask that more abundance
come my way.
