It assists in examining unresolved issues and harmful attitudes inhibiting personal and spiritual growth. Black Obsidian works quickly and can be overwhelming as it rushes negative emotions and difficult truths to the surface to be experienced and released.

Peridot is highly beneficial for attuning to and regulating the cycles of one’s life, such as physical cycles, mental or emotional phases, as well as intellectual progression.

Peridot is an extraordinary crystal for healing the emotional body and resolving matters of the heart.
