Peridot---to be most effective magically, the peridot was once set in gold. This makes a fine, if costly, protective amulet, which the ancients said guarded against enchantments, night terrors and illusions as well as the universally feared evil eye This latter term is usually defined as being either envy or unconscious psychic attack.

Peridot is said to promote healing of insect bites and to help in liver ailments.
