Peridot for Well Being
I love Peridot. Maybe because it is my birthstone. Peridot is the birthstone for August. But I didn’t always love it. I can remember as a kid getting the yellow green stone for my birthday and wishing my birthstone was more exciting, like maybe the rich color of purple Amethyst or bright shiny Diamond. It wasn’t until I was much older that my appreciation for Peridot took hold. Once I discovered its subtle energies I was won over.
Peridot has a long history of uses. The Egyptians made Peridot beads 2,500 years ago. It was also used to make rings and other jewelry. In Greece and Rome Peridot is considered a stone of royalty. Since ancient times Peridot was viewed as a symbol of the sun. Sometimes it was worn as a protection stone. Peridot was believed to bring wealth to the wearer.
For me these green gemstones represent pure positive feelings of well being. Whenever I am the slightest bit down if I hold or wear Peridot, I can feel my sense of well being return. This stone uplifts me. Its energies always bring a smile to my face and lightens my load. It is a bright sunny gemstone eager to assist. It is a stone that can warm and open the heart. We all feel better when we open our heart to all the goodness that exists. Its a reminder for me of all the good in my life.
Peridot’s vibration can bring an inner sense of warmth and well being, like sunshine on a spring day. >> Continue reading

Gemstone Jewelry Inspired by Nature
I am en-route from my winter home in the Florida Keys to my summer home in southwest Colorado. Driving through this great big country, I am in awe of the beauty of nature I see passing before me. As I look out the window I see lots and lots of color. Mostly green. All shades of green. I begin to associate the colors with the energy of gemstone beads and before I know it am designing gemstone necklaces in my mind. I am seeing the light yellow green of Peridot mixing with a deeper shade of Green with Jade add in some brown pearls and the field of freshly planted corn comes alive in a new gemstone necklace. More Peridot now added with yellow citrine reflects the green pasture that is beaming with yellow flowers.The sky has been stormy for some of this trip and I am reminded of some nicely faceted Labradorite beads with color flashes of gold for the lightening that lights up the distant sky. As we were driving out of the Keys, the water was all shades of blue-green, melting into the deeper shades of blue reflecting in the sky. I would choose Chrysoprase, Sodalite, and bright blue Turquoise for that necklace. >> Continue reading
