Elephant herds have a matriarchal structure, which means their grandmother in charge! And her memory is the key to their survival. While the males run off once they reach sexual maturity, the females stick together. They’re lead by grandma, who remembers every child and every grandchild. All 30 of them.

Contrary to us, their amazing memory only improves with age and experience. So the tragedy is when grandma is killed by poachers before her time. The information dies with her, leaving the herd to fend for themselves.

The more we learn about elephants the more it appears that their impressive memory is only one aspect of an incredible intelligence that makes them one of the most social, creative and benevolent creatures on earth.

Peridot is a protective stone for the aura, and in ancient times it was believed to ward off evil spirits. It is a powerful neutralizer and works to release toxins on all levels, both physically and from the subtle bodies. Peridot is a stone for new beginnings, and many of its qualities have to do with letting go of old patterns or behaviours that no longer serve you.
