This piece comes from San Carlos Apache Reservation, United States. Worth knowing: a lot of the peridot on the market is heat-treated. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Known since ancient times, valued in ancient Egypt and Rome.
Peridot is traditionally a stone for openness to what comes your way, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and settling into who you already are. It's traditionally linked to the heart and solar plexus chakras. If that resonates, set one on a shelf where your eye lands on it during the day. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
