A stone of truth, it enhances communication and improves intuition. It enables you to see both sides of an argument without being unfairly influenced. Associated with a healthy mind and body, it blocks geopathic stress when placed close to household appliances.
Part of the feldspar group of minerals amazonite is not particularly common. Although named after the River Amazon it's not found anywhere near there. It is mined in Brazil but mostly in the state of Bahia which is more than 2000 kilometres away.
It's believed when amazonite was named it was mixed up with nephrite jade which is found close to the Amazon.
