Hello, loves! August is here, and with it comes a sense of vibrancy, growth, and appreciation for the wonders of nature and life. And speaking of wonders, we're also celebrating one of AMJ's favorite green gems - Peridots. You might know them as "gem of the sun," but there's more to Peridots than just their vibrant green color. So, let's dive right in and uncover the magic of this vibrant, natural marvel!
FROM EARTH'S CORE TO YOUR FINGERTIPS:
Peridots, also known as olivine, are formed as a result of volcanic activity. Deep within the earth, mantle rocks containing olivine crystals rest beneath immense pressure and heat. Olivine is the star of the show here - a key ingredient in forming Peridots. When intense geological events, such as tectonic or volcanic activities, rock the earth's crust, these mantle rocks get caught up in the action and are thrust upwards towards the earth's surface. On their journey, they start to cool down slowly, and over time, they solidify, eventually becoming a gem-quality Peridot.
Peridot is one of the few gemstones that is found in only one color. While other gemstones can be found in a wide range of colors, Peridot's signature green hue is due to the presence of iron in its crystal structure. The more iron content present, the deeper and more vibrant the green hue.
PERIDOT'S HEALING ENERGIES:
As Peridot washes away negative emotions, it becomes a powerful ally in alleviating stress and anxiety. Peridot is sometimes referred to as "The Study Stone" due to its ability to enhance focus and concentration. With its aid, distractions fade, and perseverance takes center stage, making it ideal for conquering challenging academic tasks. Peridot is also known for its positive effects on sleep and relaxation. This captivating crystal has a unique energy that can promote a restful, rejuvenating, and dream-inducing slumber. It's a great stone to have near when you need a little R+R in your life. 
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
Peridot's connection to both the heart chakra and solar plexus chakra offers a solid foundation for finding balance and stability amidst life's storms. The solar plexus chakra, representing the core of one's identity, willpower, and sense of purpose, greatly impacts overall well-being when blocked. Peridot is amazing at awakening and clearing this chakra, providing you with the restoration and clarity you may be looking for.
Similarly, Peridot's connection to the heart chakra, the seat of love and trust, is essential for nurturing meaningful relationships and letting love flourish. By unblocking the heart chakra with Peridot's radiant energy, we can overcome destructive emotions such as jealousy and fear, allowing love to shine brightly and gracefully illuminate our lives.
