Its blue-green color comes from traces of lead, activated over time by the natural radioactivity of the rocks. It has pronounced cleavage and a hardness of 6 to 6,5 on the Mohs scale: avoid impacts and store it separately. Its name evokes the Amazon River, even though no deposit has ever been found there. Today it mainly comes from Brazil, Russia, Madagascar, and Mozambique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn lithotherapy :\u003c\/strong\u003e amazonite is nicknamed the \"stone of harmony.\" It is associated with the heart and throat chakras, and is believed to have a soothing effect, promoting emotional balance and a calmer way of speaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% natural product :\u003c\/strong\u003e size, shape, shade, and number of beads may vary slightly from one thread to another.
