I love the strength in this jade green pendant and have softened it just a bit with a small Jade heart. The jade pendant pieces are opaque and I used tumbled translucent peridot and vintage brass bead to enrich the colors. It is certainly in the range of the new spring colors and would be perfect for Saint Patrick's Day.
August birthstone. Peridot beads are translucent lime green crystals formed in volcanic rock. Peridot is believed to be one of the twelve stones that were used for Aaron's breastplate in early Biblical days. The Roman on sale historian Pliny said peridot had been mined in Egypt for thousands of years. At that time, it was called Topazios, but several centuries ago, the French named it ‘peritot'. It was valued as the poor man's emerald and believed to keep away evil spirits. Today peridot is a powerful cleansing crystal that can neutralize toxins and protects one's aura.
