Hue. Peridot has a brighter color.
Price. Chrysoprase has less jewelry value. Peridot is often used to make luxury jewelry.
Processing methods. Peridot is cut, which helps reveal the play of light. Chrysoprase is not able to refract rays, so it is only polished.

Connection with chakras, metals, trees

The main metals of Sagittarius are zinc and gold.
They completely personify the activity and restlessness of the representatives of this Zodiac Sign, giving them optimism and self-confidence. Despite their fiery nature, Sagittarians get along well with silver. It brings a touch of calm to a fiery character and pairs well with almost any stone. If we are talking about wooden jewelry, then in this case Sagittarius should choose products made from palm, chestnut, ash, and birch. Cypress and laurel are also suitable for representatives of this Sign.

But the patronizing chakra of Sagittarius is svadhisthana (second chakra). It is located in the abdominal area. It is here that all the vital energy of the representatives of this Zodiac Sign accumulates. And it is precisely this that needs to be influenced by the energy of the stones when carrying out meditative practices.

How to spot a fake

Some people skillfully fake peridot:

using other, similar minerals;
chrysoberyl is especially similar to chrysolite;
sometimes this stone can even pass for bottle glass;
The cheapest counterfeit is plastic.

Some fakes can only be recognized in laboratory conditions. Others are determined mechanically - peridot scratches glass, fakes in the form of plastic and glass will not cope with this task. You can also rely on your knowledge of the refraction of rays; chrysolite produces two rays. But it would be most effective to require a certificate of authenticity of the product.

How to wear and care

Wearing peridot is subject to the following rules:

Decoration in the form of a ring on the little finger actively increases self-esteem;
If a person has something in pain, then preference is given to jewelry that can be worn closer to the painful area;
The stone “loves” black, white, yellow, green and brown. Against their background, its influence on the wearer intensifies;
It is recommended to purchase a new stone that has not previously had other owners.

Cleaning of the stone is carried out under the condition that it is not attached to the product with glue. The mineral itself is cleaned with a solution of ammonia and water (5 ml per 1 glass of water). But if the jewelry is made of silver, dry clean it with a soft cloth and soda.
