Peridot Jewelry
Peridot is a gemstone with a beautiful translucent green colour; it is the birthstone for August. In older manuscripts, it is usually referred to as "chrysolite", the golden version of this gemstone, and also, sometimes as "olivine" (for obvious reasons). It is the gemstone for the 16th Anniversary of marriage.
The ancient source of peridot was from Saint John Island in the Red Sea (also known as the "Serpent Island" and therefore, peridot is often thought to protect against snakes. Today, much of the peridot used in peridot jewelry comes from Arizona.
Peridot is the symbol of Saint Bartholomew.
For those who are interested in its healing and mystical powers, perdiot is thought to protect against nervousness and help to heal hurt feelings (a great gift, then, to someone whose feelings you have hurt?). It is also believed to increase energy and physical strength as well as protect the wrists, lungs and sinuses. In addition, it relieves negative feelings, dispels anger, and encourages sleep for those with insomnia. Because of its colour, it is said to bring wealth, but this is most likely a more modern interpretation of the stone's power.

 Luck Makes the Winner
To go with your other peridot jewelry - this pendant necklace of peridot and smoky quartz. Peridot necklace is handmade with two strands: one, a pretty imprinted chain from the Thai Karen Hill Tribes; the other, a beaded strand of peridot nuggets and, lentil lampwork beads, and gorgeous smoky quartz in the form of faceted olives, rondelles, teardrops, coins, and rectangles. It is difficult to determine the makeup of the larger stone in the pendant ( the top round is peridot, of course), but it looks to be some kind of jasper and is a brownish colour.
