Amazonite : Its name is taken from that of the Amazon River, from which green stones were formerly obtained, though it is unknown whether those stones were amazonite. Although it has been used for jewelry for well over three thousand years, as attested by archaeological finds in Middle and New Kingdom Egypt and Mesopotamia, no ancient or medieval authority mentions it. It was first described as a distinct mineral only in the 18th century. Amazonite helps with severe despondency and feelings of impotence, especially if one feels a victim of some overwhelming fate. It encourages a healthy belief in life and stimulates the concept of taking one’s fate in one’s own hands.
Energy healing properties:
Amazonite helps with suddenly occurring attacks of fear. It is particularly good whenever there is a feeling of being the victim of some overwhelming fate. Amazonite stimulates self-determination and an overall trust in life. Amazonite relieves nightmares that occur in stressful periods of life and where there is a very clear and obvious connection to immediate daily situations. Extreme moodiness during the day and very troubled sleep at night are further indications for the use of this crystal. First wear Amazonite around the clock, in the form of a bracelet, necklace or pendant. Later, when matters seem improved, wear it only during the daytime!
Forms:
Raw stone, section/slice, (drilled) tumbled stone, bracelet, necklace, pendant gem stone, gem essence, gem water.
