10. Peridot – Self-Confidence
Peridot, the birthstone for August, has unfortunately declined in popularity for centuries. Since ancient times, it has been considered a symbol of the sun. In thirteenth-century England, if someone wore a peridot engraved with the symbol of a torchbearer, it was believed to bring wealth. The idea of ​​peridot as a stone of prosperity has resurfaced in modern times.
This yellow-green stone, associated with the sun, is valued for its protective powers and self-confidence-boosting properties. Set in gold and worn around the neck or left arm, it was a talisman that offered protection against all kinds of negativity.
It is a stone associated with both the heart and solar plexus chakras. Therefore, it is excellent for use in recovering from substance abuse and all kinds of other addictions. Peridot’s green energy activates the heart chakra and can be used to relieve a heavy feeling in the heart and heart-related imbalances. The yellow energy activates the solar plexus chakra and empowers the body to optimally utilize nutrients.
The ancient Egyptians knew peridot as the gemstone of the sun, making it the perfect stone for the (late) summer month of August. Its vibrations bring an inner sense of warmth, well-being, and self-confidence, just like the feeling of the sun on a summer day in August.
Have a nice week🌺
