Amazonite is a beautiful blue-green gemstone that often reminds people of the colours of our Canadian Rocky Mountain lakes, or of far away tropical oceans. The main Canadian source of amazonite is in Quebec, near Montreal, however amazonite is also found in the United States, China and other parts of the world. Linked to female warriors, Amazonite is said to have adorned the shields of Amazonian tribal women warriors hailing from roughly 10th century B.C. At this time, amazonite was believed to bring strength, courage and protection to the Amazonian warriors. Today, amazonite is believed to reduce stress, and has a serene energy that will help you release toxic emotions and other unwanted negative energies. Amazonite can also be used to support communication, and is thought to soothe the nervous system and strengthen the heart and body of the wearer. Set in sterling silver.
