Peridot
Some call peridot “the extreme gem” because it, like diamond, is one of the only gemstones that forms deep in the molten rock of the Earth’s mantle. But unlike diamond, peridot is the opposite of hard. It’s so easily scratched and sensitive, even temperature changes can shatter it. These qualities make gem-quality peridot relatively rare. You could even say it’s “out of this world,” since the other way it gets here is by landing on Earth in meteorites. If it’s showing up for you now, someone in your life right now might show up all fiery, bold, and tough, but they’re actually rather sensitive at heart. Or maybe this someone is you? To be safe, be extra gentle with yourself and others for the next while. Someone in your orbit is feeling fragile, and you wouldn’t want to accidentally shatter anyone.
The Bottom Line
FRAGILE
“Treat yourself and others with care.”
One Or More Of These Messages Are For You
- Even if you don’t think of yourself as the kind of person who needs to be treated with extra care and sensitivity, that might be exactly what you need right now.
- If you were asking about a specific person, know they’re more fragile than they appear.
- Don’t let anyone tell you you’re “too sensitive.” Your sensitivity is part of your value and worth and not something to be ashamed of.
- Sensitive people are often quite deep, which is something this world needs more of.
- This is not a time to “tough it out.”
- Attempting to toughen yourself up by exposing yourself to hard things will not work at this moment.
- Your current situation calls for delicacy, gentleness, and a light touch.
