This clear to semi-opaque, limey-green crystal is the mineral totem for the Snow Goose Moon cycle of December 22 – January 19 and is a wonderful stone for all who seek purification, regeneration, stimulation, and renewal at all levels of our being. I have found it a great ally for those with physical ailments, as well as for healers. Diverse in its function, it is associated with chakras 3 though 7.

On the physical plane, Peridot serves as a balancer and tonic, balancing the glandular system, aiding in tissue regeneration and fortifying the bloodstream. It is also purifying to body, mind and spirit.

Peridot stimulates the mind, enhancing the comprehension and synthesis of lessons, thereby accelerating personal growth.

This lovely gem is great for use by therapists, as it tends to counteract negative emotions and dispel fear, guilt and depression.

And, though I have not had personal experience with this attribute, Peridot is also said to open new doors of opportunity.

If you are in need of healing in the blood or lymph areas, or suffer from depression, this is one friendly gem that is offering its services.
