Amazonite

Today I am wearing Russian Amazonite. I love the blue-green, almost turquoise colour of the stone. When polished, Amazonite is easily characterised by the streaky grain and spot-like colouring.

The green colour resembles the love and compassion of the heart chakra. On a physical level, the green influence is linked to fertility and protection. It helps to regulate metabolic disorders, harmonises the brain, nervousness and internal organs.

But really, it is the blue qualities of the throat chakra that make this stone special.

The fifth chakra, Visudda, is located at the neck. It is the connection between the more physical lower chakra’s and the higher metaphysical chakra’s.

Spiritually Amazonite can assist in self determination and expression.

Mentally, Amazonite synchronises communication between the intellect and our intuition, providing a wider gateway to personal expression. Amazonite can also enhance ones sense of psychic awareness and can be used to tap into past memories.

The healing properties of this gemstone are amazing. Symbolic of the throat chakra elements it can ease problems with the ears, nose, throat and nervous system. It is useful in releasing blocked emotions. And it can provide inspiration for creative endeavours, supporting all aspects of communication, so is therefore excellent for those involved in the arts.
