WELL-BEING

Amazonite is prized for its captivating color ranging from light green to turquoise blue, and has been considered for centuries a stone of well-being and harmony. It is associated with joie de vivre, emotional serenity, and sincere communication.

🌍 Origin and discovery of amazonite

Contrary to what its name might suggest, amazonite does not come directly from the Amazon River. The name is said to have been given in the 17th century, inspired by the legend of the Amazon warrior women who supposedly wore green stones as protective talismans. However, no deposit has been discovered there.

Amazonite is actually a potassium aluminum silicate, belonging to the feldspar family. It is found mainly in Russia (in the Ural Mountains), in the United States, Brazil, Madagascar, Canada, and more recently, in Ethiopia.

🧙‍♀️ History and legends

Since Antiquity, amazonite has been used as an ornamental and protective stone. Amazonite jewelry and objects have been found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, including that of Tutankhamun. The Egyptians associated it with the goddess Ma’at, a symbol of truth and balance.

According to ancient beliefs, it also served as an amulet against evil spirits and negative energies. In South America, some pre-Columbian civilizations used it in spiritual rituals to invoke inner peace and strengthen the link between the heart and speech.

Purification and recharging:

Cleansing:

Amazonite can be purified by briefly running it under water. However, since the stone contains traces of lead, it is not recommended to leave it soaking in water.

To preserve the stone’s shine and color, we recommend purifying it instead by fumigation with a palo santo stick or white sage. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry over the rising smoke. Don’t forget to ventilate the room well after fumigation.

Recharging:

Amazonite can be recharged in sunlight by placing it for a few hours in a bright room. It’s best to avoid direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight, which could damage the stone.

Amazonite can also be placed in a quartz geode, on a quartz cluster or a selenite plate.
