Amazonite Handmade Stone Pendant Wrapped in Silver

This pendant is made of Russian Amazonite and hand-wrapped in 12 gauge sterling silver wire.

Amazonite is a vitreous to pearly, translucent to opaque stone that occurs as blocky or tabular crystals. The most desired colors are blue, blue-green to green with white striations, but Amazonite can also occur with brown, white, cream, and yellow patterning as part of the crystal. Amazonite is a mineral of limited occurrence.
​Formerly it was obtained almost exclusively from the area of Miass in the Ilmensky Mountains in Russia, where it occurs in granitic rocks. Today, it's also found in pegmatite in Madagascar, Canada and in Brazil. ​

For many years, the source of Amazonite's color was a mystery. Many people assumed the color was due to copper because copper compounds often have blue and green colors. Recent studies suggest that the blue-green color results from small quantities of lead and water in the Feldspar.

Amazonite crystal therapies are primarily associated with filtering out stresses, healing traumas, and soothing energies in the home and workplace. Its spiritual power is personal truth and communicating that truth to others.
