What Is Amazonite Made Of?
Amazonite is a tectosilicate mineral and a member of the microcline feldspar group of minerals due to its high composition of potassium.
It is thought that Amazonite’s unique blue-green colours are caused by complex chemical processes that are still not fully understood: traces of lead in the mineral have been singled out as a likely cause most recently, although traces of copper was originally thought to play a role.
Graphic Amazonite is a form of Amazonite that is associated with Smoky Quartz.
Amazonite History
Also known as Amazon Stone, Amazonite was named after the Amazon River due to its distinctive blue-green water-like colouring.
Amazonite was crafted into amulets and used as a good luck charm in ancient times; it was even found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, one of the most famous Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.
Amazonite has also been found at the ancient archaeological sites of Mesopotamia.
Amazonite Crystal Healing Properties
Amazonite is reported by crystal healers to bring the user a sense of balance, clarity and calm: for this reason, Amazonite is believed to be a great soother of anxiety.
Infused with elemental water energy, Amazonite is said to help its user to “go with the flow” in life, just like how the Amazon River continuously flows.
Consequently, Amazonite can be used as a Crystal Healing Stone for Anxiety and stress, helping its user to navigate the ups and downs of life with ease and resilience.
Sometimes referred to as the Stone of Hope, this crystal can foster one's confidence in achieving their goals and dreams.
Amazonite Chakras
Amazonite Crystals are strongly associated with both the Heart Chakra and Throat Chakra.
Amazonite: Heart Chakra Stone
When Amazonite is used as a Heart Chakra Crystal, the stone is thought to invoke feelings of serenity, peace, and love.
When Amazonite is used as a Throat Chakra Crystal, the stone is thought to enhance communication and speech, much like other blue crystals and blue stones such as Sodalite and Lapis Lazuli.
Amazonite is also believed to help users identify and speak the truth, helping them to remain authentic.
How Hard Is Amazonite?
Amazonite (Amazon Stone) measures 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness, which means that it is a relatively durable mineral resistant to some scratching, but care should still be taken not to damage the crystal surface as it can be a brittle stone at times.
Amazonite Crystal Care
It is not advised to soak Amazonite in water for extended periods of time.
To clean your Amazonite crystal, a quick wipe with a damp cloth should suffice.
Although it is perfectly safe to handle Amazonite, common consensus is that Amazonite contains traces of Lead and/or Copper, elements which are not safe for consumption: therefore it is strongly recommended to avoid making and drinking crystal elixirs with Amazonite.
