Hi, lovelies, welcome to WiccaNow. In my previous posts, I discussed the amazing benefits of amethyst, sodalite, rose quartz and emerald as well as a post on how to cleanse your crystals and how to make crystal water. Continuing on with our exploration of the wonderful world of crystals, I thought today we’d feature peridot, one of my favourite green gemstones!
Crystals are divine gifts and sacred tools from mother earth that assist us in transformation, growth and healing. Each crystal holds special energy that can assist us. As we connect to a crystal and its energy, it allows us to align and connect to the same healing energy that exists in all of us. So let’s discuss the unique benefits of peridot!
