Well, howdy there! Let’s talk about this Leo thing, you know, the lion star sign. Them folks born under this sign, they say they’re like the kings and queens of the whole sky jungle. Real show-offs, they are! Always gotta be the center of attention, just like my rooster back home, always crowin’ the loudest.
So, what’s the deal with their special stones? You know, the lucky charms they’re supposed to have? Folks call ‘em birthstones. It can get a bit confusing, all these different rocks, but the main one, they say, is peridot. Yeah, per-i-dot. Sounds fancy, don’t it?
Now, this peridot, it ain’t just any old rock. They say it’s mostly green, kinda like the grass in spring, but sometimes it’s a bit yellowish, like when the hay dries out in the sun. And lemme tell ya, this stone ain’t just for lookin’ pretty. They say it’s got special powers, or somethin’ like that.
- Makes you lucky, they say.
- Helps you be brave, like chasin’ a fox out of the henhouse.
- And it helps you get along with folks, which is always a good thing, ‘cept maybe for that nosy neighbor Mrs. Higgins.
They also say peridot can bring you plenty of good stuff, you know, like a full harvest and a chicken coop that’s always overflowing with eggs. It’s supposed to make you feel good about things, too, even when the cow kicks over the milk pail.
This peridot, they used to think it kept away evil spirits and bad folks. Kinda like how I hang garlic by the door to keep away the vampires, though I ain’t ever seen one of them, thank the Lord. They also say wearin’ this stone can make your marriage better, which is good, ’cause marriage ain’t always easy, let me tell ya. Nowadays, they call it the stone of compassion, which I guess means it makes you a kinder person. We could all use a bit of that, couldn’t we?
But hold on, there’s more! Peridot ain’t the only stone for them Leo folks. There’s a whole bunch of ’em, like citrine, topaz, black onyx, and sardonyx. Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me, but I guess each one does somethin’ special. They also talk about ruby and opal being Leo stones. Ruby, that’s a red one, like a ripe tomato. And opal, well, that one’s kinda shimmery, like a rainbow caught in a rock.
Peridot, though, that’s the main one, the “Stone of Transformation”, they call it. They say it helps you change for the better, like turnin’ a sour lemon into a sweet lemonade. It’s supposed to bring good vibes and make you feel fresh, like a daisy in the mornin’.
Speaking of stones, did you know there’s different stones for different months, too? Like diamond for April, that’s a real fancy one, and topaz for November. They say diamond is the rarest in some places, and topaz in others. Then there’s emerald, sapphire, and pearl for other months. But we’re talkin’ about Leo stones here, so let’s stick to that.
So, if you’re a Leo, or you know a Leo, and you wanna get ‘em a special somethin’, maybe a peridot is the way to go. It ain’t just a pretty rock; it’s supposed to bring all sorts of good things. And who couldn’t use a little extra luck, courage, and kindness in their life? Lord knows, I could! Just remember, this peridot thing, it’s been around for ages. Folks back in the old days believed in it, and some folks still do today. Makes ya think, don’t it?
Anyway, that’s the gist of it. Leo, the lion, and its special stone, peridot. Hope that makes some sense to ya. It’s a lot of information for an old gal like me, but I tried my best to explain it in plain English, the way I understand it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens.
