Labradorite is a rare feldspar, originally discovered in Labrador, but now found throughout the world. Labradorite’s iridescence, or labradorescence, is caused by light bouncing off inclusions of magnetite. This is said to give Labradorite shielding properties. Labradorite increases our ability to concentrate on personal issues without being distracted by outside influences. Labradorite will give you protection if you feel your energy being drained by a relationship. Labradorite heals and balances relationships. The other person may sense this healing as distance or withdrawal, but this perception will fade as the relationship comes into balance. Labradorite is an excellent gemstone for those seeking to lose weight as it balances and regulates metabolism. Labradorite serves as a gateway to other dimensions and frequencies while offering a grounding "thread" for one's comfort. It is a mystical gem which is activated when worn (or used) easily opening a multitude of possibilities to explore. These personal explorations allow to fully get to know one's self and the experiences are integrated into daily life with ease.
Peridot in French word is "peritot", which means unclear, probably due to the inclusions and cloudy nature of large stones. Peridot is mentioned in the Bible under the Hebrew name of "pitdah".

The Greeks and Romans referred to Peridot as "topazion and topazius", later given to "topaz". Historical legend has it that peridot was the favorite gemstone of Cleopatra. Pliny wrote about the green stone from Zagbargad Island in 1500 B.C. Peridot emits a warm and friendly energy.
