Description
The bright green to blue-green stone was a favorite among the ancient Egyptians. Dubbed the “Stone of Hope,” Amazonite has long been revered for attracting hope and faith to those who wear it.
Although Amazonite is named after the Amazon River for its rich, watery hues, it is not actually found anywhere near the Amazon. The closest amazonite to its namesake is found in Minas Gerais, Brazil. However, this stone has a long association with the local people of the Amazon region. Amazonite, associated with female warriors, is said to have decorated the shields of Amazonian tribal female warriors from around the 10th century BC.
