Amazonite is for warrior women

At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Amazonite was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.

Sometimes life will test you to the limit. 11 months ago, Zoe decided to get off drugs for good. “Life” responded by seeing her get kicked out of her house, losing her job, and ending up homeless for awhile. Anyone else would have gone right back to drugs, but not Zoe. She’s stronger than that. She’s back on her feet and working hard to get her life on track. Every day drug-free is a victory.

Last month, a thief broke into the car and took her rock box. All her agates, amethysts, and geodes are gone. A lifetime of collecting suddenly stolen away. Sure it’s a little thing, just a few pretty rocks. But, it’s one more knock. One more way of life testing and asking her, “Can you take it? What will make you break?” Zoe won’t let life beat her down. She’s drug-free and smiling.

Her boyfriend’s sister has watched Zoe roll with the punches this past year. She’s so proud of her, and knows how tough it has been. She’s already given Zoe a few crystals to start a new rock collection and she hopes that life will be a bit gentler with Zoe moving forward. More light and less darkness would be appreciated!

Their Stone

Amazonite reminds us that we are the masters of our own fate and that we’ve been given a good brain capable of solving any problem we might face. It helps us to have healthy boundaries, loving relationships, and be empowered in every area of our life. Amazonite shines with a fierce bright Light reminding us that hard times won’t last forever and good times are coming soon!

Amazonite is a popular name for blue-green Microcline, a Feldspar mineral.  It is closely related to such popular stones as Moonstone and Sunstone, both of which are used to described a variety of shimmery Feldspar minerals.   The best pieces of Amazonite will have a vivid color as well as a silvery-white iridescence that dances along the surface when light moves across it.  It’s name is tribute to the Amazons, warrior-women that lived life by their own terms.  Unsurprisingly, this stone asks us to stand up and be counted.  It’s energy sings of courage and truth.  It is a phenomenal stone for anyone who is timid and needs to find their own voice.
