The olive-green peridot was already described by Hildegard von Bingen as having, among other things, fever-reducing and detoxifying properties.

Peridot is also said to have a powerful purifying effect on the emotional level. It helps release anger, resentment, and pain and transforms negative energies into positive ones. Peridot supports independence and the maturation process. Peridot is also a good companion for melancholy and depressive moods.

Physically, peridot is considered a digestive stone, good for the liver, gallbladder, and small intestine. It is detoxifying and helpful against infections and fungal infections.
