A Trilogy

Pt.1: Peridot, the Popular Stone

Many are unaware that the month of August houses not one, not two, but three amazing healing gems as birthstones! Peridot is the most popular of the three, so I will start this month’s set of blogs with the most popular one.

The peridot (pear-ih-dough) is an underestimated stone with many nicknames and metaphysical properties. It is actually an extreme gem with lots to offer! For starters, the peridot is a fire stone, seeming to be perfectly aligned with summer solstice in its fire element. Its history is a divine one, being the national stone of Egypt and all. It is also believed that the peridot laid the foundation of the New Jerusalem. You will find it hand in hand with the diamond in the upper mantle of the earth’s crust, awaiting to come to the earth’s surface through earthquake or volcano. In the peridot’s early years of discovery, it was considered to be a meteorite, bringing an element of mystery to its magical properties.

The peridot is the most popular of the August birth/gemstones, even though it has many names. One of the other names for the peridot is the evening emerald, a bit strange since its most popular shade is a lighter shade of green than the emerald. The chrysolite is another name, alongside the “true topaz.” This olivine is another nickname for this remarkable stone…of course because of its color. The peridot is even rumored to be fragment of meteorites, perhaps because of the uncanny many properties it holds for the wearer.

Like July’s ruby, the peridot is a gem of the sun, representing both the sun in the solar system and the one in the earth’s core. It is a stone that invokes spirituality and expression. Ancient lightworkers used the peridot to control the four winds and attract wealth. The peridot is a good stone to meditate with when one is seeking their divine purpose. It stimulates compassion, eloquence, and is a catalyst in turning on the creative juice. Its assistance ranges from extraterrestrial communication to restful sleep. It sharpens and opens the mind, and the lightness of it helps to release endorphins that stimulate good health. Of course, the peridot is also a love drawing stone.

The peridot is also a powerful banishing stone. It does so both from within and externally. It calms avarice and balances the mind, as well as frees the wearer of feelings of envy….talk about the right kind of feeling green. It strengthens the core, which cures cowardice. It lightens hard feelings of all kinds, and serves as a wonderful aura protector. It drives away forces of darkness and counterattacks dark sorcery. If you haven’t added this multi-fauceted, powerful stone to your collection, I recommend you do so right away! It is a stone I have used personally for a very long time. After all, it is one of my three birthstones!
