Peridot

Peridot, also known as olivine or chrysolite, is an exceptional crystal for healing the emotional body and resolving the problems of the heart
The stone cleanses and heals hurt feelings and a “bruised ego”, it reduces anger, jealousy, resentment and spite, while teaching a person to understand that holding on to people or to the past is counterproductive for growing as a person
Olivine teaches a person to examine the past for the lesson in the experience, to admit mistakes and let go of guilt and blame, to forgive themselves or others in order to move on
Peridot stimulates psychological clarity and instills a sense of happiness and contentment in life. It allows a person to detach from outside influences and to trust their own abilities, to seek guidance inwardly and to reach the wisdom of the higher mind.
The stone gives rise to independence and to assertion without aggression, accepting the world as it is and then transforming a person with the clear intention of creating the reality they wish to have.
As a stone of transformation, peridot is excellent to use when recovering from tobacco or other addictions. More importantly, it is a stone of the wounded healer, serving as a vital guide in easing the healing processes that help others get through what you have already come through yourself.
It is considered very effective for amplifying Reiki energy. It is useful to hold it immediately after treatments that use heat or warming, such as hot stones or a sauna, in order to continue its beneficial effect.
Olivine is ideal for unloading emotional problems that affect the physical body. Placed on the solar plexus, it relaxes and releases the nervous tension known as “butterflies”, and it eases fear and the feeling of guilt, anxiety or impatience. Placed over the heart chakra, it eases the heaviness of the heart, making room for forgiveness or for soothing destructive jealousy or the self-doubt caused by betrayal in past relationships.
Placed in the pillowcase, it ensures peaceful sleep. It is especially effective for those who suffer from recurring nightmares of evil spirits, killings or attacks.
