In ancient times, Peridot (also known as Olivine) was believed to keep away evil spirits. It is still protective stone for the aura. This stone is 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 obsession are cleared. Peridot teaches that holding on people, or the past, is counterproductive. Peridot shows you how to detach yourself from outside influences and to look to your own higher energies for guidance. This visionary crystal helps you to understand your destiny and your spiritual purpose.
