Fluorite from the Naughty Gnome Pocket of the Diana Maria Mine in Weardale, England

This fluorite is daylight fluorescent, meaning it changes color in sunlight! It is a lovely emerald green in indoor lighting and parts of it turn blue in the sun ☀️

Some times I think gem/mineral mysticism is kinda an excuse to have cool looking rocks in your house and you get to touch them all the time

I can't blame them tbh most cool rocks nowadays are super texture pilled and make me want to rub my hand all over 'em.

Everything You Need to Know About Crystals: Peridot

Peridot (The Tears of Pele)

*Yes Peridot from Steven Universe is here. She demanded to be added okay!?

Color: Olive Green to Yellow-Green

Rarity: Easy to Obtain, Harder to higher quality

Hardiness: 6.5 – 7

Type: Orthorhombic (Gem form of Olivine)

Chakra Association: Heart and Solar Plexus

Angels: Achaiah or Raphael

Deities: Pele and Isis

Birthstone: August

Astrological Signs: Leo, Libra, Gemini, and Capricorn

Element: Earth

Planet: Venus and the Sun

Origin: Brazil, Hawaii, Myanmar, Egypt, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, USA

Powers: Purification, Cleansing, Wealth, Happiness, Prosperity, Protection

Crystals It Works Well With: Rutilated Quartz, Rose Quartz, Sunstone, Carnelian, Tourmaline, and Citrine

How It is Created: Peridot is the gemstone variety of olivine, a mineral made up of magnesium, iron and silicate compound. The higher proportions of magnesium and iron are used to identifying the key features in the gem, while the chromium and nickel impurities contribute to its beautiful green color. Some specimens of peridot can even appear in meteorites called pallisites and found during volcanic activity on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

History: The Egyptians mined peridot on the island of Zebirget, which is located in the Red Sea. Egyptians used the gem for over 4,000 years and was even said to be Cleopatra’s favorite. It is regarded as a sacred stone during Medieval times and was even used in the design of the Shrine of the Three Kings in Germany. Peridot crystals found in the black volcanic sands of Hawaii are said to be the tears of the Goddess, Pele. Now most of the world’s peridot comes from Arizona or Pakistan.

What It Can Do:

Keep away evil spirits and great for protecting aura

Releases and neutralizes toxins on all levels

Purifies the subtle and physical body and mind

Opens, cleanses, and activates the heart and solar plexus chakra to release “old baggage”

Clears the feelings of burden, guilt, and obsession

Guides you to better influences

Alleviates jealousy, resentment, spite, anger and stress.

Enhances confidence and assertion without aggression

Sharpens the minds and opens it to new levels of awareness

Banishes lethargy, bringing to your attention all things you have neglected

Is said to heal and regenerate tissues and strengthen the metabolism

How to Get the Best Out Of: Peridot works best near the throat area and heart area of your body so a peridot pendant or necklace would be best.

How to Cleanse and Charge: Cleanse using smoke or running it over water. Charge it by placing it under a windowsill during a full moon.

Talisman:

Social Media Talisman

Peridot ring, worn on the hand you scroll with

Chalice

Moon water

1 small piece fresh or dried valerian root

1 fresh lemon slice

Cleanse and empower your ring with the ability to dispel feelings of envy and inadequacy.

Gather your materials in a sunny area during a waning moon.

Fill the chalice with moon water.

Take the valerian root in your hand and hold it in the direct sunlight.

Say, “Valerian root that calm sting, add self-assurance to my ring.” Visualize it absorbing the sun and pulsing with a gentle, light. Place it in the chalice.

Hold the lemon slice up to the sun, feeling the illumination and bright energy coming from it.

Say, “Bright yellow lemon with a bite, filter that which befalls my sight.”

Squeeze the lemon slice so the juice goes into the chalice.

Now the chalice holds a soothing brew imbued with calm from the valerian, confidence from sunlight, and optimistic realism from the lemon.

Put the peridot ring in the chalice and let it sit in the sun for about an hour.

Retrieve your peridot ring from the chalice and wear it. Pour the water into the earth.

The ring help ground you in reality while filtering your impressions of what you consume on social me protecting your self-confidence and dispelling any feelings of jealousy or inadequacy.

Perform this spell in direct sunlight, if possible, to illuminate the truth and soothe uncertainty. If you don’t have a chalice, use a bowl, or any kind of cup. Moon water is water that has been left outdoors under the full moon to absorb its power.

So this topic has been refreshed in my mind since I went to a rock shop yesterday. For one, everything is way over priced, like low grade 1x1 inch amethyst should not be 30$ and little gemstone bead bracelets should be like 10$, not 25$-70$. I would like to preface this by saying I am getting my degree in geology and have done so much research. But my real qualm is that all these shops literally make up and mislabel rocks all the time and everyone, especially people who use it for their practices, just buy into it. Common things I see being mislabeled or just made up include: -'Blue/turquoise obsidian':

No! That's literally just glass, or at the very least not obsidian. Blue obsidian technically exists but its 1) super rare and expensive and 2) looks almost completely black but has a blue/steelish iridescence. -Literally any color of sardonyx than black/brown/red/white:

This is either dyed or just some other kind of agate. Sardonyx is a combination of Sard (red/brown/orange) and Onyx (black/white). There was only one instance in which I saw anyone say that sardonyx can be green, and it was some dude on Reddit with a picture that had no source or citation. - 'Citrine' Obviously citrine is real but so many people sell fake/heat treated amethyst Fake:

real:

Real citrine tends to be muted yellow and brown, and not very foggy or white. It also has a consistent color throughout. Heat treated amethyst is typically super vibrant in color and bold yellow, gold, or even dark brown. They are inconsistent in color and tend to be darker at the ends, and have white bases. -Aurora/angel aura and titanium quartz

This is just some other kind of quartz that they put some chemical coat on to make it look like that, its not naturally occurring. I just see so many people being misinformed online and in stores, and these are like the most common ones. Also I want to say that I don't care that people are BUYING these, it's not necessarily hurting anyone. I hate seeing people gatekeeping rocks or like yelling at inexperienced practitioners for using the wrong kind of rock but then go on to use heat treated amethyst as citrine (which are chemically different). Literally almost every kind of rock in a rock store is quartz, like aventurine, onyx, sardonyx, agate, jasper, etc. Like telling someone they cant use carnelian and they have to use sard instead is dumb because they're literally both quartz. If you only care about the color of the rocks for your practice, then leave it at that. But telling someone they can't use a specific rock because its going to give them like bad vibes is so necessary and just wrong.
