Olivine is an olive-green, grey-green, or brown mineral occurring widely in basalt, peridote, and other basic igneous rocks. It is a silicate containing varying proportions of magnesium, iron, and other elements. "Peridot emits a warm and friendly energy. It can be used to magnify the inner aspects of any situation or circumstance. It furthers the understanding of those changes which are occurring in ones life and assists one in the recognition of the detrimental patterns which have been the basis for impairment in attaining that which is necessary for growth. Peridot can be used to cleanse and stimulate the Heart and Solar Plexus Chakras, bringing openness and acceptance in the intellectual pursuit of matters of love and relationships. It provides for a shield of protection around the body. The wearing or carrying of Peridot will prevent outside influences from affecting the aligned, balanced, and/or cleansed structure. It is an excellent healing stone, acting as a strengthener and regenerator of the body." Love is in the Earth--A Kaleidoscope of Crystals by Melody
