About Peridot:
A glimmer of green like sunlight through the trees, Peridot is a prized gemstone known for its summer spirit, its good-luck vibes, and its uncanny ability to keep you calm and feeling safe no matter what is going on around you. The twinkling green hue was a fave of Cleopatra; she loved to adorn herself in the Emerald of the Evening stone. But even beyond ancient times and tales of Egyptian queens, Peridot has a long and fabled history when it comes to being revered by those in power. High priests and kings were also smitten by this lustrous gem said to ward off evil spirits.
Peridot comes from an island in the Red Sea, close to the Pharaoh shores of Egypt. In the Greek tongue, the island was called Topazios, which is their name for Peridot. On this remote island is where miners would send their singing hammers to search out this precious stone, ready to adorn the deathbeds of Egyptian royalty. The island was strictly off-limits and anyone stepping foot there would be punished with death. But Peridot saw out the ages and survived, with its slick luster and a playful smattering of light.
In the metaphysical sense, Peridot comes with a ton of healing properties. Deep-set calm, restful slumbering, and restoring balance and harmony to the body, mind and soul are just a handful of the wonderful things that this precious gem is believed to bring into our lives.
