Read our Sourcing Standards →Amazonite is a cool mint-to-teal green, sometimes streaked with white. It's a variety of feldspar, and the color comes from trace lead and water in the crystal structure. Soft-looking even when it's well-polished. It has been used in jewelry and ornamentation for thousands of years, including in ancient Egyptian artifacts.
Sourced directly from Zambezia, Mozambique.
Those who work with amazonite often turn to it for quiet, steady calm, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and settling into who you already are. It's traditionally linked to the heart and throat chakras. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. How you use it is up to you.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
