Amazonite stone, a semi-precious stone, owes its name to the Amazon River where it was said to be first discovered. This green stone honored the Amazonian warriors and symbolizes courage.

However, studies counter this analysis and it would seem that amazonite never existed in the Amazon river and that it was nothing more or less than a confusion with another mineral.

Having known its uses since ancient times, Amazonite stone was found in Egypt, India, Mesopotamia and Sudan.

In Mesopotamia, Amazonite had an equally gratifying destiny, as it was dedicated to Tiamat, Babylonian Goddess of the oceans and salt water, where chaos reigned. For Babylonians, Amazonite was at the origin of everything, including the Gods, thanks to its ties with the God of fresh water. The Greeks, for their part, used amazonite as an ornament on their shields to protect them, like the Amazon warriors. The Navajo Indians, for their part, associated this stone with Estsanatlehi, the Goddess at the origin of the creation of humanity.

Today, Amazonite stone is mainly used for its properties in jewelry.

Amazonite has similar properties to turquoise including tenderness. When applied to the heart chakra, amazonite offers the certainty of tenderness towards our beloved. It offers the perception of sincere and reciprocal feelings, and gives the wearer the sensation of happiness. Amazonite instills relief from feelings of frustration and reinforces feminine behavior, while calming down ardor. It offers gentleness and sincerity in exchanges of love. It is the stone of direct and sincere expression in tenderness.

On a more spiritual level, Amazonite nurtures serenity in the certainty of good and removes all forms of negative thoughts.
