Libra's Sun Stone Peridot

  If you are a Libra, then your sun stone is the beautiful green peridot. As one of four gorgeous gemstones powerful enough to support Libras in their pursuit of harmony, justice, and beauty, peridot acts most powerfully to attract success, fortune, and personal fulfillment.  

Libras, the Aesthetes

If you read my last article about Opals for Libras, then you might remember that the ruling planet for this air sign is Venus. Most famous as the planet of love, Venus also imparts charm and a passion for beauty to those born under the sign of the Scales. (source) Captivated by beauty, symmetry, and harmony, a Libra is a true aesthete. Concerned at once with high art, keen intellectuals, and exquisite workmanship, the Libra enjoys the finest the world has to offer. (source) Libras fill their homes with stunning art and cultivate environments rich with beauty and culture. Their tastes are refined, their style impeccable. Their gracious diplomacy grants them superpowers in smoothing out ruffled feathers, with the goal of returning to the joys of sophistication and refinement. (source)    

Libra's Sun Stone Peridot

Peridot is a powerful magnet for abundance and multiplication. This power of manifestation extends not only to wealth, but to beauty, health, and contentment, as well. (source) Libra's sun stone also supports professional success, promoting self-confidence, self-esteem, and intellectual growth. It balances mental and emotional states and illuminates old patterns. Furthermore, it supports the elimination of mental blocks that keep you from realizing your full potential. (source) Once these blocks are removed, peridot steps in once again with heart opening energy to free you up to enjoy all the beautiful things in life. (source)    

Wearing Peridot for Maximum Benefit

In ages past, people wore peridot set in gold in order to ward off evil spirits, sorcery, and to soothe anger. They wore them as pendants or as a seal upon their left arms to inspire courage and enhance the intellect. (source) Some astrologers recommend that Libras wear their sun stone on their watch face. Apparently, worn this way, peridot ensures not only a strong work ethic, but also the assurance of personal satisfaction and good fortune. (source) Of course, as I mentioned in my previous article about opals, simply choose a piece of peridot jewelry that sparks your interest. You can't go wrong no matter how you wear your beautiful green sun stone! ~Angela Magnotti Andrews
