This iconic spring-green is sure to catch your eye! Peridot can be found in various states here in the U.S, Myanmar, Pakistan, China, and Brazil. It is one of the oldest gemstones, dating back as far as 1500 BC. Looking to Ancient Egypt, they were mining peridot for jewelry around the Red Sea for over 3,500 years! 

Peridot is a gemmy variety of the mineral olivine, and gets its color high amounts of iron in the stone, also making it slightly magnetic if you have a big enough loose stone and a strong magnet.

Due to its physical magnetic properties, I think it's safe to say that wearing a peridot can also help with your energetic magnetism as well. Work with Peridot if you want help manifesting your goals, wild dreams, and to inspire you to get to or stay in good health.

Boulder opals are created over millennia, when microscopic silica flows through water, and this with the water gets trapped in layers of sedimentary rock. You can basically think of it as ancient, crystallized water. Although on the contrary, opal does not have a crystalline structure, which is also why it is so soft. The "play of colors" scales how irresistibly captivating these gems are. 

This gem shows us what we're putting out into the world, either amplifying our positivity and optimism, or leading us to see for ourselves where adjustments can be made. 

Boulder Opals are tougher than most, but proper care is still recommended. Most opals are a 3 on the Moh's scale of hardness, but due to the boulder matrix of Australian opals, this gives boulder opals a hardness of 7 which is the durability of turquoise.
