The amazonite stone is often mistaken for jade since it can have a milky green hue. The semi-precious stone can range from light green all the way to turquoise, with some having patterns swirled in. The unique color comes from lead and water being mixed into its component. The stone itself is inexpensive to purchase and can be found in parts of Brazil, Colorado, Virginia, Australia, and Madagascar. 

So why should you look into using an amazonite crystal when there are a plethora of choices out there? The information below may just be enough to convince you that this stone is perfect for your growing collection.

The rock itself is often strongly connected to its green color, which many find soothing, according to The Healing Chest. It is said that the pale green can bring a calming effect to a stressed spirit. The crystal’s properties are believed to bring balance and harmony.

Indigo Moon Jewels revealed that the crystal was also referred to as the Stone of Courage and the Stone of Truth. The amazonite gem can empower a person to search within themselves and assist in figuring out internal truths. Tiny Rituals notes that amazonite has “strong healing properties and deep-set connections to the heart chakra and the throat chakra” which makes the stone “something special.”
