She is often shown with four arms representing the spiritual values of righteousness, desire, wealth and deliverance. Peridot honors Pax the Roman Goddess of Peace and Prosperity. She is often depicted holding an olive branch of peace and serenity, and a cornucopia symbolizing plenty and good harvest.
