Peridot Formed in the Earth's mantle & also found in space, Peridot was mined by Ancient Egyptians in the Red Sea, & it was believed to keep people safe at night. Ancient Egyptians called it the "gem of the sun," & used it to decorate all things decorative. Interestingly, Peridot is most certainly extraterrestrial, since it is found in Pallasite Meteorites that contain Olivine. ...Peridot is even mentioned in the Bible, and much later it was used in medieval times during the Crusades, particularly on religious objects. Then it became popular again with jewelry in the 1800s. Associated with the Heart & Solar Plexus Chakras, bringing alignment & balance to the upper & lower Chakras, so as to connect the earthly & spiritual realms. The birthstone for August, Peridot is thought to resonate with Leos & Virgos. 

Ruby Zoisite Ruby Zoisite was formed during the Neoproterozoic Era (1 billion to 541 million years ago). Composed of two different minerals, corundum & zoisite, & believed to radiate positive energy & enthusiasm, Ruby Zoisite is associated with helping individuals maintain a positive outlook on life, attract joy, & dispel negativity. Ruby Zoisite is linked to the 4th Chakra, or Heart Chakra, the energy center associated with love, compassion, & relationships. It is believed to open & activate the Heart Chakra, facilitating the flow of love & positive energy. Believed to have balancing properties, Ruby Zoisite is thought to be useful for Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, & Sagittarius zodiac signs.

Tourmaline The name Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese (referring to the people & language of Sri Lanka) word "toramalli," which means "mixed gems." This crystal enjoyed popularity even in ancient times, & The Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi was a fan of Pink Tourmaline. Egyptians believed that Tourmaline got its color from breaking through a rainbow as it rose from the earth. Native Americans in California gave certain colors of Tourmaline as gifts. Tourmaline is pyroelectric, meaning it accumulates opposite electric charges at its ends when heated. This property makes it useful for eliminating static electricity. American Tourmaline deposits caused the gemstone’s spike in popularity. In 1876, mineralogist George Kunz launched a craze when he sold green Tourmaline from Maine to Tiffany & Co. Pink, Green, & Watermelon Tourmaline are connected to the Heart Chakra, associated with love, compassion, emotional healing, & balance. Black Tourmaline is connected to the Root Chakra, associated with grounding, stability, & energetic protection. Associated with energy cleansing & detoxification, Tourmaline is a birthstone for October, & is connected to Libra & Scorpio zodiac signs.
