Peridot - Chips Bracelet

Peridot, often referred to as the evening emerald, is a gemstone closely associated with spirituality and self-expression. Its name comes from the Old French "peritôt", meaning "not clear", due to the inclusions and internal fractures commonly seen in this stone. Before the adoption of the term Peridot, it was also called Chrysolite.

Also known as Olivine, Peridot is distinguished by its single hue: green. This unique green, known as peridot green, ranges from olive green to brownish green. Ancient admirers often considered it to be an emerald, one of the highest praises that can be given to this stone. Considered the national jewel of Egypt, Peridot was revered by the ancient Egyptians, who called it the jewel of the sun. Additionally, jewelry historians now believe that some, if not all, of the emeralds worn by Cleopatra were actually deep green Peridots from Egyptian mines.

The San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona is currently responsible for 90% of the world's peridot production. These precious gems are also found in Australia, Brazil, China and Madagascar.

Peridot, a true symbol of life and light, is distinguished by its remarkable mental and emotional healing properties. Considered one of the most powerful crystals, it has the power to stabilize our mood and encourage us to savor the beauty of a fulfilled existence. For those who struggle with selfish behaviors such as jealousy, resentment, or malice, Peridot encourages us to shed this emotional burden and enter the world with a pure heart and empty hands. It is a gemstone that encourages us to abandon harmful behaviors that benefit no one and that clutter our hearts.

By purifying these negative emotions, Peridot proves to be a valuable ally in soothing stress and anxiety. When jealousy, resentment and grudges overwhelm us, our body and mind can easily sink into anxious thoughts, disrupting our sleep and emotional balance. This stone, bursting with light, invites us to free our heart and soul, bringing a lightness that evokes the gentle warmth of the sun.

Furthermore, Peridot is often referred to as the study stone, thanks to its ability to promote concentration. When we feel distracted by a thousand thoughts and when we try to concentrate, this stone could become an ideal companion to carry out our tasks. It offers us the concentration and energy necessary to overcome challenges, no matter how difficult the objective to be achieved.

Peridot can be heated to lighten its dark hues to a beautiful olive green. Imitations often use glass or synthetic spinel.
