Amazonite

"Amazonite is soothing to the nerves and dispels both irritating and negative energy." *

This stone emits energies that clear the air and auras around it of negative influences.  These properties justify the widespread use in jewelry, aside from it's physical beauty.

Amazonite is said to suppress worries and dissipate feelings of aggravation, yet allows spontaneity and energy flow.  In addition Amazonite eases and promotes communication between lovers.

Amazonite is named after the Amazon river although it's main source is Russia and India.  It is an alkali of Feldspar, forming short prismatic crystals mostly found in turquoise.
