Peridot - The Happy Crystal


The green colour is one of my favourite colours. It has often been associated with nature, healing and rejuvenation. I am sure many of us have been told that looking far at the greenery plants relaxes the eyes, or that eating green vegetables is beneficial for the body. Well, do you all know that in the crystal world, there is a beautiful green stone that is believed to be a gift from Mother Nature? The happy crystal, Peridot is one of the few gemstones around that can only be found with one colour – green. The intensity of the colour of this natural crystal varies depending on the iron content, with the most valued shade being the dark olive-green.

The Peridot has been mentioned in many ancient references such as the Bible, and is considered to be sacred, especially to the early Christians. Traditionally, Catholic Bishops  adorn a ring of peridot and amethyst which symbolises purity and morality. This is still a practice in various parts of the world. During the rise of the French Empire, Napoleon himself once presented Josephine with a gift of this beautiful natural crystal, Peridot to declare his undying love and admiration.

The Peridot is truly a stone of beauty and lightness. It is a happy crystal. The crystal is a protector against negative emotions. It has a calming effect which soothes the wearer, especially for the spiritual or clear-minded person. The Peridot has been known to have healing effects on the gall blader and the liver.

Because of the beautiful green colour, this natural gemstone is an amazing stone to wear, and goes really well with these season’s pastel colours. Consider getting your own Peridot, and let the people around you feel green with envy!

我最喜欢的颜色之一是绿色。绿色让人与大自然联想在一起。我想大家也因该有听说过,吃青菜对身体有益,或看远处的绿化能放松眼睛。那你们知不知道,在水晶世界里,也存在着一个美丽的绿色宝石---橄榄石?橄榄石被认为是大自然的恩赐,是知名的快乐水晶。它也是水晶体之中,其中几个只能出现于一个颜色的天然水晶。橄榄石的绿色强度取决于铁的含量。

橄榄石存在于许多古代文献中。它尤其被早期的基督徒认为是神圣的。至今天主教的传统装饰是一枚由橄榄石和紫水晶组合成的戒指。这象征着纯洁和道德。在法兰西帝国时代曾经把橄榄石赐给约瑟芬,宣布他不朽的爱和钦佩。

橄榄石是一个美丽和轻盈的天然水晶。它能缓和神经,平稳情绪。它也是一个保护者。橄榄石特别对于灵性的人有着非常好的作用。除此之外,橄榄石也据说对胆囊和肝有着治疗的效果!


拥有着美丽的绿色,橄榄石非常适合搭配这季柔和的色彩。你们不妨考虑让自己也拥有一颗橄榄石,让你周围的人感到羡慕!
