Amazonite is a great stone to use in meditation, particularly an amazonite palmstone you can hold on to. It will help your nervous system calm down, whilst promoting peace and serenity, which will help you reach a deep meditative state.
History
Its name is taken from that of the Amazon River from which green stones were formerly obtained, though it is unknown whether those stones were amazonite. Although it has been used for over thousands of years, as attested by archaeological finds in Egypt and Mesopotamia, no ancient or medieval authority mentions it. It was first described as a distinct mineral only in the 18th century.
It was obtained almost exclusively from the area of Miass in the Ilmensky Mountains, 50 miles southwest of Chelyabinsk, Russia, where it occurs in granite rocks
Amazonite is now known to occur in various places around the globe.
Geology
For many years, the source of amazonite's colour was a mystery. Some people assumed the colour was due to copper because copper compounds often have blue and green colours. A 1985 study suggest that the blue-green colour results from quantities of lead and water in the feldspar. Subsequent 1998 theoretical studies by A. Julg expand on the potential role of aliovalent lead in the colour of microcline.
