Folksy Friday!


Amazing Amazonite!

As many of you may have guessed, I am a big gemstone fan and one of my favourites is Amazonite, I adore is silky tones and colour play!

Sources of Amazonite
Amazonite can be found primarily in India. Other sources are USA, Canada, former USSR, Madagascar, Tanzania and Namibia.

For those who believe in mystical and healing properties of stones Amazonite:

The metaphysical properties of amazonite include:
Encourages self determinism, balancing extremes in moods and has a calming affect.

The Healing properties of amazonite are believed to include:
Regulation of metabolic disturbances, dissolving cramps, eases childbirth,
strengthens the nerves and helps with heart complaints due to grief.

I am not personally guaranteeing these properties of Amazonite, I just adore the stone and I am not the only one, on Folksy I was spoilt for choice with all the amazonite items to chose from to feature!

  11. I'm fascinated by the info on the stone - I know nothing at all, not even slightly, about minerals and fossils. I wish I had more understanding. I'd never heard of amazonite - its really beautiful! Just the restful colours that I love. That necklace is lovely and don't apologise for 'sneaking' yours in - that's lovely too!
