Peridot is also known as Olivine. Its color ranges from transparent olive green
to yellow-green, sometimes with brownish tint. Chemically it is magnesium iron silicate.

Peridot is the patron stone of healers and especially good for healing the
healer. His calming influence helps to reduce or avoid "burn-out" and provides
a strengthening, regenerating energy to the body.

By placing a Peridot over the solar plexus, nervous emotional tension known as "butterflies" can be relaxed and released.

Astrological Sign – Leo. Solar Plexus Chakra.

Rated just slightly below hardness of quartz, Peridot is good jewelry choice
in Faceted, Cabochons or Beaded forms. Stones tend to be small and not
typically found as tumbled pocket stones.
