These are AA-grade Amazonite raw stones from Amboasitra, Madagascar, sold by the piece or by the pound. Amazonite is a potassium feldspar whose turquoise-to-sage tint comes from trace lead and water. Each rough piece runs 1-2 inches at Mohs 6-6.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite confidence stone for desks.
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.
Our raw pieces are sourced from Amboasitra, Madagascar.
It has been used in jewelry and ornamentation for thousands of years, including in ancient Egyptian artifacts.
Amazonite has long been used in practices around 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. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Amazonite sits at 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 20 to 50 grams. About 12 to 20 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This batch is from Amboasitra, Madagascar. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
