Peridot

Known as “the Extreme Gem” Peridot is a stone born in fire. One of only two gems formed not in the earth’s crust, but in the fiery mantle, to be pushed up by the tremendous force of earthquakes and volcanoes. Their roots in the earth also have connection to the stars, as rare forms of Peridot exist in meteorites and comet dust. This stone symbolises warmth, well-being, abundance, and inner radiance
