A soothing stone of flowing calm, Amazonite is a powerful companion for those feeling stuck, agitated, and unsure.

Also known as the “Stone of Truth”, Amazonite’s strengths lie in its potent clarifying and communicative abilities—making it one powerful ally for both tapping into and expressing your truth.

HISTORY & LORE

Amazonite gets its name from the Amazon River—from which it was originally found.

Although, artifacts tell us that this crystal has been used for over two thousand years—with significant findings in both Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia—cultural history and myths tell us nothing of this stone’s social or spiritual importance.

While it’s historical significance may remain a mystery, in modern uses Amazonite is well known for being a stone of courage and truth. Its connection to both the Heart and Throat Chakras have given this stone a popular reputation for soothing upsets, activating confidence, and giving strength to soft words.

PROPERTIES

Amazonite is a powerful crystal for…

  • Calming the body/mind/soul
  • Drawing in courage
  • Harmonizing unsteady emotions
  • Communicating difficult truths
  • Speaking with confidence
  • Activating the Heart Chakra
  • Activating the Throat Chakra
  • Quieting an anxious mind
  • Creating/maintaining clear boundaries
  • Keeping your resolve
  • Balancing feminine and masculine energy
  • Awakening compassion
  • Clarifying and strengthening communication
  • Promoting tranquil energy

HOW TO USE

Working with the energies of Amazonite:

  • Meditate. For those times where your mind can’t seem to shut off, or those times where turbulent emotions feel choking at best, grab a piece of Amazonite and sit in meditation. Hold the stone between your palms and place them over your chest—or lie down and place your stone between your heart and your throat (just below your collarbone). Breathe deeply and allow the soothing, calming, restorative energies of Amazonite move through you.
  • Carry to boost confidence. Use your Amazonite like a confidence talisman by wearing it in jewelry, slipping it inside a charm bag, or simply keeping a piece inside your pocket during those times of nervousness and unease.
  • Slip under your pillow. Tap into Amazonite’s deeply soothing and calming energies during those nights of restless sleep by slipping a piece under your pillow. An added bonus: this stone lends a deeply restorative and healing energy for the Heart and Throat—allowing you to heal your chakras while you sleep!

Properly caring for Amazonite:

A physically hardy stone, Amazonite can be stored anywhere one would normally store a crystal.

To cleanse your Amazonite, play clearing tones next to the stone, run it through a rush of streaming water (whether that be a waterfall, a stream, or simply a faucet), or lay it outside under the light of Full Moon.
