Gemmology Facts: 

Peridot is a green Gemstone that varies in olive green to yellowish-green shades. It is also known as Chrysolite and Olivine. It is found in the United States, Brazil, Ireland, Egypt, Sri Lanka and the Canary Islands.

When we talk about Gemstones, we discuss Gems being allochromatic or idiochromatic. Peridot is an idiochromatic Gem – this means that the colouring of the Gem is not due to impurities, but the colouring element is essential to the Gemstone’s structure. Peridot’s vibrant green colour comes from iron.

Did you know in 2005, Peridot was found in comet dust brought back from the Stardust robotic space probe? That’s pretty awesome!

Peridot is the birthstone of August and Gemstone for the 15th wedding anniversary.

Crystal Healing Properties:

Peridot is a treasured Gem known for its summer spirit, lucky vibes, and uncanny ability to keep you calm and feeling safe no matter what is going on around you. Keeping Peridot close to your Heart Chakra will open you up to love, joy and compassion. Doesn’t that sound beautiful?

Peridot, as a giver of life and light, truly comes into its own when it comes to mental and emotional healing properties. Peridot, one of the most powerful healing Crystals, is sure to stabilise your moods and encourage you to bask in the glow of a well-lived life. Peridot encourages those who need assistance in letting go of egocentric behaviours such as jealousy, resentment, and spite to lay down all that heavy baggage and enter the world empty-handed and pure of heart. It is an excellent stone for encouraging you to let go and rid yourself of problematic behaviour patterns that serve no one and simply clog up space in the heart.

Peridot was believed to ward off evil spirits and protect our auras from negative energies in ancient times. Peridot today is still known for its ability to protect our souls. This wonderful Crystal helps to shift old vibrations making way for new frequencies and positive patterns—time to clear out the old baggage and focus on positive vibes and energy.

Because of its natural ability to invite the mind to focus, Peridot is also known as The Study Stone. If you find that when you sit down to do something, a thousand thoughts keep distracting you, this could be the perfect companion to help you focus. This is a Crystal that will provide you with the focus and energy you need to persevere no matter how difficult the task. It’s an excellent Gemstone to have when confronted with a difficult academic problem.

Peridot is shared by Leo and Virgo. This gleaming Gem is a soft reminder of summer nights, as it is the birthstone of the month of August.
