Legend has it that it was first discovered near the Amazon River, hence its name. Yet studies have shown that there is no amazonite deposit in that region: the mineral must have been confused with another one! Whatever the case, its color recalls the turquoise waters of the river, and the name stuck.
Amazonite is also known as the “stone of the Amazons”. The Native Americans of the Rio Negro said they came from “the land of women without men”. The stone therefore invites independence and helps you take your life in hand by letting go of negative feelings: those who wear it are true Amazons!

Amazonite was first used 3,000 years before our era, in Egypt, India, Mesopotamia and Sudan. In Egypt it was made into jewelry: the scarab ring found in Tutankhamun’s tomb is proof of it, and a plaque of amazonite engraved with lines of the Book of the Dead has come down to us.
In Mesopotamia, it was associated with Tiamat, goddess of the oceans and salt waters, and was believed to keep chaos at bay. The Greeks used it to decorate and protect their shields, like the Amazon warriors. Today, rings, pendants, bracelets and bead necklaces are still made of amazonite.
