Welcome to RazzWorks.com where we will be covering information about the August calendar in this article. I am Razz and I just want to give you a heads-up. My intentions for this post along with posts on the other 11 months will be an ongoing project. This means I intend to update each post with additional information over time. So please feel free to leave any suggestions or ideas you have in the comment section when you are done reading. Enjoy.

WHAT IS THE MONTH KNOWN FOR?

August is the eighth month in the 12 month calendar year and it has 31 days in the month.

During the August calendar, it is the holiday month for most workers in European countries.

Winter has set in for those living in the Southern Hemisphere. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, the August calendar means summer is in full bloom. August is the month when the summer is hot and humid. That means for many it’s time for swimming and hanging out at the beach getting a tan or in a pool to keep cool. Kids love to play in the backyard with water sprinkles while the adults cook up a storm with the BBQ. People spend much of their free time outdoors, whether it’s camping, having a picnic, licking a cone of ice cream, or just sitting and drinking a nice cold lemonade.

The August calendar month is also known for the Perseid meteor shower that occurs each year. It’s great to watch at night staring up at the sky. Watching the meteors streak across the beautiful vast night sky.

HOW THE MONTH GOT IT’S NAME

The August calendar was named after the grandnephew of Julius Caesar. Augustus Caesar was the first Roman emperor. Augustus means noble, majestic, and venerable.

INTERNATIONAL GEM FOR THE MONTH

During the year most calendar months have a particular gemstone or birthstone that has been consistent over the years within two common categories. One category is referred to as traditional and another one as modern. However, over many years other lists of stones have developed for various reasons. For example, if you were to go with the bible and read about breastplate gems that represent each month. There are actually two different breastplates. Another example of a list that varies is a jewelers list. Not all jewelers use the same list so some stones can vary for a particular month. With this series of articles, I am attempting to present information that is common around the world. As I mentioned earlier I intend to update information over time. The gemstones and birthstone list is one of those areas that I will be updating in the future. For now, I will be presenting the international gemstone stone list this year.

The August calendar international Birth Gemstone for the month is the light green peridot. The peridot gem can come in different colors however the light green peridot is for the month of August.
