The glorious yellow-green Peridot is a truly remarkable stone; it is the birthstone for those born in the month of August and is known as “the extreme gem” by the Gemological Institute of America. Peridot, in shades of olive, is one of the few gemstones that forms in only one color. It evokes the lateness of summer and the onset of fall, as leaves morph from green to gold and hang like jewels in the sunlight.
Peridot is born of fire and brought to light, one of only two gems (Diamond is the other) formed not in the Earth’s crust, but in molten rock of the upper mantle and brought to the surface by the tremendous forces of earthquakes and volcanoes.
Additional Details:
It is a crystal of warmth and well-being, mentally stimulating and physically regenerating. It carries the gift of inner radiance, sharpening the mind and opening it to new levels of awareness and growth, helping one to recognize and realize one’s destiny and spiritual purpose.
Associated with the sun, Peridot has been prized since the earliest civilizations for its protective powers to drive away the forces of darkness. Peridot is also celebrated for virtues, protecting the aura, purifying the physical and subtle bodies, and alleviating emotional burdens, guilt and obsessions.
It is particularly beneficial for overcoming fear, depression and other psychological disturbances, as well as releasing jealousies, resentment and spite in order to move forward. Peridot promotes responsibility and forgiveness, instilling confidence in one’s own abilities and reestablishing a sense of self-worth.
A powerful generator of the frequency of increase, this lovely talisman may be utilized to manifest abundance in all areas of one’s life: wealth, health, happiness and love.
In the ancient world, these unique gems of Olivine were mined explicitly for the Egyptian kings, and while it is currently mined in many parts of the world, it is still the National Gem of Egypt.
Raw Peridot Silver Box Pendant
STERLING SILVER: Sterling silver is one of the most commonly used metals in high-end and high-quality jewelry and accessories. Sterling silver is strong and durable and, when properly cared for, sterling silver jewelry will stand up to being worn every day for a lifetime.
GEMSTONES: We only use genuine stones in our creations—we do not use lab created stones or any kind of glass-filled or dyed gemstones. They are nature made and therefore variations may occur in the stones cut and color, including having natural cracks and inclusions within the stone. All pieces are one of a kind. We photograph our jewelry in natural light and stones like opal, moonstone, and labradorite must be photographed at different angles in order to view their natural luster.
