These are AA-grade Amazonite tumbled stones from Amboasitra, Madagascar, sold by the piece or by the pound. Amazonite is a microcline feldspar, a potassium-rich member of the feldspar group in soft turquoise to sage green. Each piece runs 0.75-1.25 inches at Mohs 6-6.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite confidence stone for pockets.
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.
Sourced directly from Amboasitra, Madagascar.
It has been used in jewelry and ornamentation for thousands of years, including in ancient Egyptian artifacts.
In the tradition, amazonite shows up most often 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. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
