A tiny island in the Red Sea now known as Zabargard (formerly St. John’s Island - owned by Egypt) is documented as the first source of Peridot, dating back as far as 1500 BC. Early Crusaders who visited this island introduced this bright yellow-green gem to Europe upon return from battle. The Peridot was believed to be a stone of spring time by ancients who considered it a gift from Mother Nature. Napoleon once made a gift of Peridot to Josephine as a symbol of undying love and admiration. In ancient times, it was said that a dream about Peridot foretold impending danger.

Used in a necklace, Peridot is a protector against negative emotions. It has been known to have healing effect on the gall bladder and liver.

Peridot is a stone of lightness and beauty. Peridot gemstones assist in bringing energies from your aura to the physical body. It also acts as a symbol of pure heart and mind, innocence and faith.
