"Believed in ancient times to keep away evil spirits, Peridot is still a protective stone for the aura and a powerful cleanser. Releasing and neutralizing toxins, it purifies the subtle and physical bodies, and the mind. Showing how to detach oneself from outside influences and to look to your own higher energies for guidance, Peridot teaches that holding on to people, or the past, is counterproductive. This visionary crystal helps you understand your destiny and spiritual purpose. It is particularly helpful to healers."

Keywords: Heart chakra, emotional stability, purpose.

Silver, specifically sterling silver, will tarnish from oxidation. To prolong the shine and life of your silver jewelry:

• Avoid Wearing Silver in the Shower, Avoid Pools, and Avoid Hot Tubs or Springs. 
• Remove Jewelry When Doing Household Chores, Working Outside, or Exercising. 
• Remove Jewelry Before Going to Bed. 
  
• Avoid Contact with Lotions, Oils, and Perfumes; put your jewelry on last! 
• Clean periodically with water and mild soap, and polish with microfiber or polishing cloth. 
• Store in a cool, dry place. Pro tip: save those silica packs from a shoe purchase and add them to your jewelry storage!

Although gemstones have been used throughout recorded history, they are not to be used as a prescription, diagnosis or treatment.
