Amazonite

Amazonite is a very ancient gemstone that’s known for its beauty and healing properties. It has been around for centuries, and it has been widely used to make statues, amulets, and jewelry.

The stone’s name is derived from the largest river in South America, which is the Amazon river. This stone is also known as the Amazon Stone. Because of its resemblance to Jade, Amazonite is also sometimes called Pikes Peak or Colorado Jade.

Amazonite is a silicate that’s usually pale green in color, but there are also Amazonite stones that are opaque green, blue-green color, yellow-green or turquoise blue.

You can get it as rough granitic rocks or as a tumbled and shiny stone. It will sometimes have white streaks on them, too. This, however, doesn’t change or alter the stone’s potent energies.

Amazonite is mined in different locations in the world, particularly Australia, Madagascar, Russia, Namibia, India, Canada, and Brazil. It is also found in Virginia and Colorado in the US.
