Amazonite Polished Palm Stone

NZD $29.00

SKU: P5042

This specimen is Amazonite, smoothed and polished into a Palm/Oval/Soap Stone. Also known as Amazonstone, said to have gained its name after the Amazon River. It is a green tectosilicate mineral, a variety of the potassium feldspar called microcline. The black in this one is Black Tourmaline! Known as the “hope” stone, the Amazonite crystal is an excellent manifestation tool, especially when you incorporate its energy into daily meditation practice. Plus the polished look helps intensify the dazzling color of tropical waters. A white background photo has been included to help better gauge the color.

Amazonite Origins & Background

Amazonite is a green to blue-green variety of Microcline Feldspar, prized for its calm “watery” color and natural internal textures. Despite its name, Amazonite is not sourced from the Amazon River — the name is widely believed to have come from early historical associations and trade myths rather than a true locality connection.

Notable Amazonite sources include Colorado (USA), Brazil, Madagascar, Russia, Namibia, India, and China. Different localities can show distinct color tones, translucency, and patterning (from soft mint-green to deeper blue-green).

Many pieces show white streaking, grid-like patterning, or “lattice” textures. These features are commonly linked to natural structural intergrowths/exsolution (often involving Albite within Microcline) and are a key part of Amazonite’s character.

Amazonite has a long history of ornamental use — including jewellery and carved objects in ancient cultures. It has often been associated (symbolically) with courage, truth, and personal protection in historical and folkloric traditions.

Amazonite does not form pointed, terminated crystals like Quartz. Instead, it typically occurs as blocky or massive feldspar with smooth cleavage faces. Polishing often highlights its internal textures and soft, glassy-to-pearly sheen.

Amazonite Geological Information

Amazonite is a variety of Microcline Feldspar (Potassium Aluminum Silicate) and belongs to the feldspar mineral group — one of the most abundant mineral families in Earth’s crust.

It forms primarily in granitic pegmatites, where slow cooling allows large crystals to develop. These environments commonly produce other well-known minerals such as Quartz, Tourmaline, and Beryl.

Amazonite shows two perfect cleavage directions that intersect at nearly right angles. This is why feldspar often has smooth flat faces — and also why it can chip or break along natural planes if struck.

Its characteristic color is linked to a complex interaction involving trace lead, water content, and the internal ordering of the feldspar structure, stabilized over geological time. This combination produces Amazonite’s distinctive “still water” appearance.

Common Geological Occurrences

  • Granitic pegmatites
  • Coarse-grained igneous environments
  • Association with Quartz, Albite, and Smoky Quartz

Amazonite Crystal Care & Ownership Advice

⚠️ Sunlight & Heat:
Amazonite is generally stable in indirect light, but prolonged exposure to intense sunlight may cause gradual dulling over long periods. For best longevity, display in filtered or ambient light.

✋ Handling:
Because Amazonite has feldspar cleavage, it can chip or fracture if struck sharply. Handle gently, especially polished points, edges, and slab corners.

🧼 Cleaning:
Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners. Ultrasonic cleaners can stress internal planes and are best avoided.

📦 Storage & Display:
Store Amazonite away from harder stones (like Quartz) that can scratch it. If you’re keeping multiple pieces together, use a soft pouch or padding between items to protect edges and faces.

Amazonite Metaphysical Properties

Amazonite is often regarded as a stone of truth, calm communication, and emotional balance. It supports those moving through periods of change by helping the nervous system “unclench,” easing that on-edge feeling, and encouraging a steadier internal state.

It helps facilitate emotional growth and the willingness to find and speak truth, even when that truth may not be warmly received. Many people work with Amazonite when navigating boundaries, integrity, or emotionally charged conversations, because it encourages calm honesty rather than reactive intensity.

Amazonite is also used to amplify and enhance life-force energy, helping the body make better use of “newly available” energy during growth phases — especially when emotional shifts arrive faster than the physical system can comfortably process.

How to Use Amazonite Day-to-Day

  • For honest communication: keep Amazonite in your pocket on days you need courage to speak clearly and kindly.
  • For emotional steadiness: place it near your workspace to reduce nervous tension and support grounded presence.
  • For integration during change: hold it during breathwork, journaling, or quiet reflection when you’re processing a transition.

Meditation method: Meditate with Amazonite by visualizing its blue-green color being gently breathed into your heart region. Many also extend this visualization into the throat area to support calm, truthful expression.

In essence, Amazonite is a beautiful energy that brings to mind the phrase: still waters run deep. There is often far more strength and truth in this stone than a quick glance suggests.

Amazonite Crystal Pairings & Synergy

Amazonite is most often paired with stones that support clear communication, emotional balance, and grounded truth.

It works particularly well alongside:

Clear Quartz — to amplify intention and bring clarity to communication work involving Amazonite. Clear Quartz helps focus and strengthen whatever emotional or mental work Amazonite is supporting.

Rose Quartz — to soften emotional expression and encourage compassion when speaking personal truths. This pairing is often chosen when honesty needs to be balanced with care and empathy.

Smoky Quartz — to provide grounding and energetic stability. Smoky Quartz helps anchor Amazonite’s emotional and communicative energy into practical, real-world action. Please note: Smoky Quartz often forms with Amazonite, so is closely aligned with Amazonite, creating a natural synergy between the two.

Amazonite is also frequently paired with Throat- and Heart-centered stones, such as Blue Lace Agate or Green Aventurine, by those who work intentionally with communication, boundaries, and emotional processing.

Amazonite Cleansing & Charging — Safe Methods First

⚠️ Important: “Energetic cleansing” practices should never damage the crystal. If a method risks etching, dulling, staining, or stressing the mineral, choose a dry alternative instead.

Avoid salt water.
Amazonite is generally water-safe for quick rinsing, but prolonged soaking (and especially salt) can stress natural cleavage planes and may dull polish over time.

Generally safer cleansing options (crystal-friendly):

  • Smoke / smudging: pass through incense, sage, palo santo smoke (avoid heavy soot on delicate surfaces).
  • Sound: singing bowl, bell, tuning fork, ting-sha.
  • Moonlight: a gentle overnight method (avoid dew on water-sensitive stones).
  • Intention / visualization: breathwork, meditation, prayer, Reiki—no physical contact required.
  • Dry cleansing: brown rice (keep crystals dry and brush off dust after).
  • Selenite plate / wand: a popular “dry” option for those who use it (no water involved).

If you’re unsure: choose sound or intention—they’re the lowest-risk methods for the physical mineral.
