The most desired colours are blue, blue-green to green with white striations. Originally obtained almost exclusively from the area of Miass in the Ilmensky Mountains in Russia. This piece reminds me of the water and the Icebergs of Antarctica. Which brings to mind The Age of Aquarius -The water bearer. Amazonite heals and opens both the heart and throat centers, activating the awakening of compassion through stimulation of the Heart Chakra. Opening the connection between the thymus and the throat helps you express your deepest emotions which then helps heal and resolve them. It also opens the third eye chakra and filters the information passing through the brain and combines it with intuition, allowing you to speak and live your truth for the highest good. Holding crystals or placing them on your body is thought to promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Crystals supposedly do this by positively interacting with your body's energy field, or chakras, channelizing your energy levels, thereby, focus on healing your body from the inside. Amazonite can help to empower you to manifest your dreams and desires and may aid you in speaking, acting, singing, writing, drawing and painting. This is an extremely soothing stone. It calms the brain and nervous system and aligns the physical body with the etheric, maintaining optimum health. Fabulous! Zodiac - Virgo. This crystal is quite a chunky piece weighing 500grams, a really lovely specimen, measuring 4”x3”x2”.
