Peridot
A stone of light, renewal and inner radiance.
With its fresh shades of yellow-green to vivid olive green, Peridot carries the warmth of sunlight and the feeling of new growth. Unlike many gemstones whose colour comes from trace elements, Peridot’s characteristic green is an intrinsic part of its mineral composition. It is the gem variety of olivine and can form deep within the Earth’s mantle, sometimes reaching the surface through volcanic activity. Remarkably, Peridot has also been found in meteorites.
Peridot has been treasured since ancient times, particularly in Egypt, where it was known as the “gem of the sun.” Its history is closely connected with ideas of light and protection, and it was traditionally believed to guard its wearer from darkness and unwanted influences.
Traditionally associated with renewal, protection, abundance and positive energy, Peridot is often seen as a stone for leaving the past behind and welcoming something brighter. It is believed to encourage confidence, personal growth and a lighter outlook, while reminding you that change can also be the beginning of something beautiful.
A stone for carrying your own light, embracing new beginnings and allowing yourself to grow towards something brighter.
