Amazonite
Amazonite, also known as 'Amazone stone,' is a light,
aqua-green stone with white mottled flecks. The name, Amazonite,
has been taken from the Amazon River, where formerly certain
green stones were obtained, but it is found in Brazil. The
origin of the stone is the New England States and Colorado.
The composition is basically of potassium feldspar, and
it is a green variety of microline.
Amazonite
is a mineral, but because of its lively green color, it
is cut and polished as a gemstone. The green color of
the stone has been attributed to the presence of copper.
It can also be due to some organic pigment, probably an
organic salt of iron, as it is removed by heat from the
source.
Amazonite
is believed to be a sacred stone of high value. It was
extensively used by the ancient Egyptians. It gives a
cooling and soothing effect to the mental state. It is
used for healing and spiritual growth. It is applied to
align the heart and solar plexus chakras and also the
etheric and mental bodies. The body energy currents are
strengthened by the use of amazonite.
