Epidote helps to lift the emotions, and also helps to dissolve sadness, sorrow, self-pity and grief. It is a very good stone for helping us to overcome the frustration often caused by failure as it helps us to admit and accept our weaknesses. It is said to stimulate interaction with other people and groups of people and to help you to "take part" in things.

Epidote helps us to build on the "real person" that we are and dissolves false images of the way that we see ourselves.
