The Peridot crystal stone is a gem at inspiring the seekers of the universe. If it’s light and love that you're after, keep this cheerful and uplifting stone in your environment and give your Feng Shui a boost with its candy-colored hue and protective, powerful qualities. The Peridot is considered a wood element and works to promote abundance, prosperity, and happiness in your home.

Dating back to ancient Egypt, Peridot was a favorite of Cleopatra, who wore the stone for its beauty and to ward off evil spirits. According to legend, the Queen's emeralds were actually Peridot crystals, which share a similar aesthetic to the highly prized jewel. Known as the poor man's Emerald because of its less expensive price, the Peridot crystal meaning can be traced back to the volcanic areas of Hawaii on the island of Oahu, where tiny Peridot grains can still be found washed upon the shore. According to ancient folklore, these pieces of Peridot represent the tears of Pele, the goddess of the elements. Created in a fiery pit of lava millions of years ago, the Peridot crystal gets its olive to lime green colors from olivine, a type of mineral made up of iron, silicate, and magnesium.

In general, topaz is associated with true love and friendship. The meaning of this stone is compassion, empathy, and kindness. Topaz is said to be able to make you more receptive to the feelings of others while protecting you from the emotional weight or damage of the negative emotions you may encounter.

Blue topaz is associated especially with the throat chakra since it shares the same color. This is the chakra of self expression and alignment with the divine. Self-expression is a key component in relationships, so blue topaz is a good stone to wear or use if you have difficulties expressing yourself in your romantic relationships or your platonic friendships.
