Science & Origin of Amazonite
Amazonite is a variety of Microcline, also referred to as an alkali feldspar mineral. This crystal forms in tiny prismatic crystals or large masses—the colours of Amazonite range from a deep blue, to Turquoise, to blue-green. The stone was first reported in 1847 by A. Breithaupt, and its name derives from the Amazon River in Brazil, which hosts an abundance of Amazonite. Although it was written in 1847, Amazonite is believed to have been used for at least 4,000 years. Ancient civilisations such as Egypt, India, and Mesopotamia used this stone, and even a unique scarab ring was found in King Tutankhamun’s burial chamber. Due to its mass formation, many past civilisations used Amazonite as armour, talismans, amulets, trinkets, and writing slabs. For many years Amazonite’s colour was believed to be derived from, but a 1985 study suggests otherwise. The study showed that the colour was created from small traces of lead and water within the feldspar.
Meaning & Energy
Amazonite is a stone of peace, truth, harmony, and communication. It gently soothes the nerves, and its energies can be felt to the touch. This stone radiates blue rays full of rejuvenating vibrations that are here to calm the heart. Any environment that Amazonite is placed in will collect the energy and fill the air with positive energies. Its communicative abilities have been called the “peacemaker stone”. Our heart and throat become linked, thus allowing the most genuine thoughts to surface and be spoken easily. Emotions usually play a role when trying to express any truth, making it naturally hard to tell from the heart due to the power of the mind. This crystal provides flowing energies just like the river found in it. Amazonite encourages adventure, love, inspiration, and free speech. When trying to communicate complex topics to the ones we love, try placing a piece of Amazonite in your pocket and allowing it to start working. Let the stone calm the environment and dispel any negative energies that may be near. Conversations will soon flow and allow nothing but the emotional truth to be vocalised.
Amazonite also empowers and strengthens any intention that may be set in it. This unique mineral assists in manifesting a path to our biggest dreams and desires. The Council recommends you vocalise your desire while firmly holding a piece. Let the universe know what you plan on achieving and the path you will take to make it a reality. Amazonite reminds us that we are in control of our destiny, and our decisions will affect our outcome.
