Amazonite helps us to trust our own opinions and to have confidence in our own competence. If other people don’t like us or agree with us, Amazonite reminds us to not worry too much about our reputation amongst the small-minded. But if there is discord between ourselves and someone we respect and admire, Amazonite encourages us to set our ego aside and consider the matter honestly. If we are in the wrong, Amazonite pushes us to acknowledge it and make proper amends.

When we feel upset, Amazonite helps us to set the emotions aside and focus on problem-solving, rather than insisting that we are right or trying to prove we have been wronged. This doesn’t mean that those facts or emotions don’t matter or shouldn’t be taken into account; but rather that it usually to our own benefit if the emotional intensity is taken down a notch. Amazonite helps us to find reasonable and balanced solutions so that we have the best chance of a happy and peaceful life.

Always use wisdom when considering crystal therapies for healing.
For most of its history, Amazonite was known merely as ‘green feldspar’. Some sources state that the name ‘Amazonite’ is reference to the color of the Amazon river and/or that green feldspar is found in the vicinity of the river. Such claims are totally inaccurate since the Amazon river typically appears brown, rather than blue-green, and green feldspar has never been found near it. Instead, the name Amazonite is a modern reference to the mythological Amazons. 
During the rest of the year, the lapidary hand polishes their stock and also does charity work in their local community. They continue to offer some of the most beautiful tumbled stones in the industry and are among my favorite suppliers.
