Peridot - Positive Power

These stones are little green nuggets of positive power.  Their vibration brings an inner sense of warmth and well-being, like sunshine on a spring day. In ancient times, Peridot was believed to keep away evil spirits.  It is still a protective stone for the aura.  

They can assist us in having the courage to act out our heart's desires and to be generous to others, even as we pursue our individual destinies.  Peridot is a stone of financial and spiritual abundance, and it can aid in attracting and creating our most important visions here on Earth.

 Attributes:   This stone is a powerful cleanser.  Releasing and neutralizing toxins on all levels, it purifies the subtle and physical bodies, and the mind.  It opens, cleanses, and activates the heart and solar plexus chakras and releases "old baggage."  Burdens, guilt, or obsessions are cleared.  Peridot shows you how to detach yourself from outside  influences and to look to your own higher energies for guidance.

This stone releases negative patterns and old vibrations so that a new frequency can be accessed.  If you have done the psychological work, Peridot assists you to move forward rapidly.  This visionary crystal helps you to understand your destiny and your spiritual purpose.  It is particularly helpful to healers.

Peridot can be used to bless and energize one's work, whether it be tending one's garden, raising children, working as a healer, building a business, or assisting others in such activities.  It is not a stone to take one "out of this world."  Rather, it is a tool for helping to bring the physical dimension of reality into alignment with one's inner truth.  This most definitely includes success and abundance in one's career endeavors, if one is doing one's right work, and if one believes oneself to be deserving of success.

Peridot can assist one in reestablishing a sense of self-worth if one is plagued by guilt or regret for past deeds.  It quiets spiritual fears - for example, those related to a feeling of karmic debt - and allows one to move forward on one's evolutionary path.  It supports one in taking responsibility and making amends for any suffering one may have caused others.


Psychologically, Peridot alleviates jealousy, resentment, spite and anger, and reduces stress.  It enhances confidence and assertion without aggression.  Motivating growth, Peridot helps to bring about necessary change.  It assists in looking  back to the past to find the gift in your experiences, and shows how to forgive yourself.  This stone promotes psychological clarity and well-being.  It is attuned to the attainment of spiritual truth, and regulates the cycles of life.

Mentally, Peridot sharpens the mind and opens it to new levels of awareness.  It banishes lethargy, bringing to your attention all the things you have neglected consciously or unconsciously.  With Peridot's aid, you can admit mistakes and move on.  It helps you to take responsibility for your own life, especially when you believe it is all "someone else's fault."  The influence of Peridot's can greatly improve difficult relationships.

Healing:  Peridot has a tonic effect.  It heals and regenerates tissues.  It strengthens the metabolism and benefits the skin.  Peridot aids the heart, thymus, lungs, gallbladder, spleen, intestinal tract, and ulcers, and strengthens eyes.  Placed on the abdomen, it aids birth by strengthening the muscle contractions but lessening pain.  Its energy balances bipolar disorders and overcomes hypochondria.
