Amazonite

Truth, Integrity

Amazonite is a green mineral in the Microcline Feldspar group and was named after the Amazon region because of its color, even though Amazonite has never been found there. Amazonite stones that are the most saturated with color are found in Russia. For a long time it was a mystery as to how Amazonite got its color and many believed it was from rusted copper compounds within the stone. There have now been numerous studies suggesting that there are other minerals giving it it’s greenish-blueish color. Amazonite is said to be the stone of truth, honor, communication, integrity, hope and trust. It is also believed to enhance creativity and intellect.
