Most
amazonite forms as part of granite, or some stones. Geologists originally believed its colour came from copper, but more recently
they've said it comes from decaying organic matter, such as leaves and wood. It's named after the Amazon river.
Metaphysical
properties
The
energy of amazonite highlights the need for balance and equilibrium in our lives. Whether the balance is within our male-female
energies, yin yang or the need for balancing work and home life, it acts as a useful reminder to take stock and re-assess
ourselves. This is especially so when going through sudden life changes, such as marrying, having a baby, moving house or
changing jobs, and it's a useful tool to keep at hand.
The stone can effectively
be used for chakra work, as it serves well with the throat and heart chakras, allowing healing and offering a soothing and
calming energy
