Peridot

I've started researching the best stones for each astrological sign.  Here's my first blog post to which I have added this research.  First, let me tell you about the healing properties of this gorgeous stone.

Peridot is a powerful cleanser. It releases and neutralizes toxins on all levels. It alleviates jealousy, resentment, spite, bitterness, irritation, hatred, and greed. Peridot also reduces stress, anger, and guilt. Peridot opens our hearts to joy and new relationships. It enhances confidence and assertion, motivating growth and change. Sharpens and opens the mind to new levels of awareness. It banishes lethargy, apathy, and exhaustion. Peridot enables you to take responsibility for your own life. Peridot strengthens the immune system, metabolism, and benefits the skin. It aids disorders of the heart, thymus, lungs, gallbladder, spleen, and intestinal tract. It is used to treat ulcers and to strengthen eyes. Peridot is great for balancing bipolar disorders and overcoming hypochondria. It charges and stimulates the heart to encourage openness. As you can see, it is a stone of amazing positive power. If you are needing help finding the courage to go after your heart's desires, wear Peridot. This stone aids in increasing the gifts of Capricorn and Taurus.
