Peridot is olivine at gem quality, an ancient and cheerful stone: the Egyptians mined it on the Red Sea island of Zabargad and called it the gem of the sun, it forms in volcanic basalt, and it is one of the very few gems ever found in meteorites. In modern crystal practice it holds a heart-centered file, Judy Hall places peridot at the heart chakra, and the tradition associates it with renewal, warmth of spirit, and letting old resentments go. It also holds August in the birthstone calendar. We make no promises of wealth or outcomes, because stone does not work that way; what the pound delivers is genuine raw peridot in quantity, and what the practice delivers is yours.

1. Line grid rays and corners; small raw pieces excel at grid work.
2. Fill charm pouches and jar workings by the honest handful.
3. Scatter a few in a dish on desk or altar for the green alone.
4. Rinse briefly and dry if dusty; peridot handles gentle water, though soft cloths are kinder.
