Origin & History

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that forms deep within the Earth’s mantle rather than the crust, carried to the surface by volcanic activity. Historically sourced from ancient volcanic islands such as Zabargad (St. John’s Island) in the Red Sea, Peridot was prized by ancient Egyptians, who called it the “gem of the sun.” It was believed to protect against negative forces and bring vitality, clarity, and prosperity.

Throughout history, Peridot has been worn by Egyptian priests, Crusaders, and later European royalty. In many cultures, it symbolized growth, renewal, and protection—closely tied to the life-giving energy of the sun and Earth.

Geographic sources today include Pakistan, Myanmar, China, Vietnam, the United States (Arizona), and parts of Africa.

Stone Character & Appearance

Peridot is prized for its natural clarity and glowing green hue, often showing internal “lily pad” inclusions or feather-like veils—hallmarks of authenticity rather than flaws. These natural inclusions reflect Peridot’s volcanic origin and give each bead its own depth and personality. In this wrap design, the subtle variation in bead size and tone creates movement, texture, and an intentionally organic look.

Eastern Healing Perspectives

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Peridot is considered a Wood-element stone, supporting growth, renewal, and smooth Qi movement. It is associated primarily with the Liver and Heart meridians, helping to clear stagnation, support emotional flow, and harmonize the spirit (Shen).

Peridot is traditionally viewed as gently warming and activating, encouraging circulation of Qi while releasing emotional tension held in the body.

• Encourages detoxification and internal cleansing pathways
• Traditionally associated with easing fatigue and restoring vitality
• Used energetically to support stress-related headaches and tension

TCM Pairings:

• Jade (for harmony and balance)
• Chrysoprase (to soften emotional release and calm the Heart)

Ayurveda

In Ayurvedic traditions, Peridot is considered cooling to mildly balancing, particularly supportive for Pitta dosha due to its calming effect on heat, inflammation, and emotional intensity. It also gently uplifts Kapha by encouraging motivation and renewal.

Peridot is associated with the Heart and Solar Plexus chakras, supporting emotional clarity, confidence, and balanced digestion.

Ayurveda Notes on Medical Healing:

• Traditionally linked to calming excess heat and emotional agitation
• Energetically supportive for digestion and metabolic balance
• Associated with emotional renewal during periods of transition

Other Cultural & Indigenous Uses

Who This Stone Is For

This necklace is for those entering a season of renewal—emotionally, physically, or spiritually. It resonates with individuals who appreciate organic beauty, subtle strength, and meaningful design. Ideal for someone seeking balance without heaviness, growth without force, and jewelry that feels alive, intentional, and deeply connected to nature.

Cleansing & Charging

Cleanse:

• Gentle smoke cleansing (sage, palo santo)
• Sound cleansing (singing bowl)
• Selenite placement

Charge:

• Moonlight (especially new or waxing moon)
• Selenite (safe and effective)

Care Notes

• Avoid prolonged water exposure, especially saltwater, as Peridot can become dull over time.
• Avoid placing near Hematite for extended periods, as Hematite’s grounding density may energetically overpower Peridot’s lighter, activating nature.
• Store away from harder stones to prevent surface scratching.

Transparency

Each Necklace is made with 100% natural Peridot stones. Every stone bead is unique, with its own natural inclusions, tonal shifts, and internal character—nature’s way of ensuring no two pieces are ever exactly alike. If a design ever includes non-natural or enhanced materials, that will always be clearly noted in the description—transparency matters.
