LOL. I am cursed with an ugly birthstone as well--at least the name is ugly--peridot. What the...? It's a light green color. Bland. I just felt jealous of everyone who had cool birthstones, like rubys & sapphires.
Sapphire's my favorite, BTW. DH got me a new guard for my wedding ring with diamonds & sapphires for our tenth anniversary last month. I L-O-V-E Love it!
edited to add, I wrote this before I saw AlphaGamDiva's note about Peridot being pretty if cut right...maybe I've just never seen one cut right?
