A member of the Feldspar family, it\u2019s said that Amazonite is the stone of truth. By stimulating the throat chakra, this stone assists in clear communication by aligning your speech to higher ideals. Amazonite inspires confidence, hope and enhances creative \u201ctrue to self\u201d expression. With its soothing green colors, calmness is what this crystalline structure is all about. This stone also works powerfully through the heart chakra by healing past emotional traumas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a> When I worked in the financial industry I would often wear Amazonite jewelry not only because of its abilities described above but also because it\u2019s known to relieve stress and dispel negative energy, and where there\u2019s money, negative energy seems to follow. Thinking back, I remember wearing an Amazonite bead bracelet that I would mindlessly fiddle with when I was dealing with large amounts of money, and calm is exactly what I remember feeling when I did that. Another wonderful aspect that this Feldspar offers is its ability to assist in manifesting. Meditating with Amazonite can help clarify your intentions and affirmations, bringing your souls purpose into alignment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To be honest, when I first started collecting crystals, Amazonite wasn\u2019t even on my radar. I was so obsessed with the more common crystals, especially the Quartz family, that this subtle but sweet little gem was passed over many times. It may have taken a bit longer than I\u2019d like to admit, but I can say without a doubt that I\u2019m grateful to have this stone included in my crystal healing arsenal. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
