Peridot Gems have been, throughout history, associated with the sun because of the glowing colors ranging from a greenish yellow to an almost bottle-green.

Often confused with Emerald because of its color and with Topaz due to its similar hue and the fact that in early times it was called Topazius from the name of its source.

Through Libra's sign it is quite well

To free yourself from evil spell,

For in her gem surcease doth dwell,

The Chrysolite (Peridot)

The source for the finest Peridot gems has historically been an island in the Red Sea. 

Variously called Serpent Isle, Island of Topazos, St. John's Island and Zebirget Island, it has supplied the world with Peridot gemstones for thousands of years.

When the Peridot is set in gold it will dispel bad dreams.  It can be used to ward off evil spirits but must be pierced, strung on the hair of an ass and worn on the left arm to be effective.
