Many spiritual people believe that we'd be better off without ours, but it responds poorly to punishment, and is most likely to dissolve when treated gently. Thus, it's my feeling that emotional injuries such as anger, jealousy, or generally hurt feelings are best viewed, not as manifestations of an unevolved soul, but as wounds which need to be healed. Peridot can play a valuable role in this healing. If you use it in a crystal layout it belongs on the solar plexus, where it can also, like rhodochrosite, help to promote slow, deep breathing. With an aventurine on the heart center and a citrine on the navel, peridot can act as an instrument for blending love and will.
Peridot is available in tumbled stones and in the pendant to the right.
