Peridot's bright, warm green is one of the few gem colors that comes from the mineral itself rather than an impurity — a vividness that's long linked it to sunlight, abundance, and an open heart.
Worn close to the skin, it's carried for:
- Inviting abundance and good fortune
- Opening the heart to compassion and forgiveness
- Lifting mood and dissolving resentment
- Encouraging generosity and gratitude
Peridot pairs beautifully with Citrine for a grounded, balancing stack.
