It was considered a stone of the sun and so very lucky for drawing money, health, success, and love. Peridot has been prized since the earliest civilizations for its protective powers to drive away the forces of darkness. It was used as a charm against sorcery and magic, evil spirits, night terrors, and madness. It cured cowardice, calmed anger, as well as brightened the wit. It is still used for those virtues, protecting the aura, purifying the physical and subtle bodies, and alleviating emotional burdens, guilt and obsessions.
