“…in the midst of chaos I discovered that there was an invincible tranquility within me“.
A.Camus
There is a stone that for centuries has been seen as a stone of abundance, of self-confidence and as a true symbol of the passage from night to day.
This stone is Olivine (or peridot).
As extraordinary as nature,
with its green representing the heart of the healing spirit, like pristine woods. And nature is alive, like all of Mother Earth, even when it presents itself to us as a gem. Olivine is a silicate mineral and is one of the few gems that occur in only one color, although the shades of green are the broadest imaginable, depending on the density of the traces of iron within it.
Given its transparent shine and its lively chromatism, it is often considered a stone that opens the heart, helping family harmony, the return of flame after a period of coldness with the partner. It leads to kindness and a compassionate spirit, it helps to remove old resentments, such as too many regrets, instead promoting a positive outlook on the future.
It is the stone of self-esteem. Ideal for not being bullied in the workplace, or even in your closest relationships.
It is the protective stone of those born in August. Its energetic benefits particularly affect the liver, spleen and pancreas; It has a positive effect on digestive activity, also because it leads to the avoidance of unnecessary resentment.
Avoid overloading yourself with suffocating thoughts.
It teaches understanding of others and self-forgiveness (the most difficult to practice). It vibrates with both the heart chakra and the solar plexus chakra.
It relieves us by being the sworn enemy of guilt. Keep it in contact with your body, ideally as a pendant on a long necklace, so that it touches the point where too much tension stops.
Beyond its extraordinary qualities, olivine is like a mysterious upside-down and underground forest. It teaches us how to look at the earth in another way.
