For its beauty and therapeutic properties, amazonite has long been revered. It is thought that this light green mineral rock was formed as early as the 10th century BC. Amazonite is sometimes referred to as the "Amazon stone" since it is believed to have been found in the Brazilian Amazon River Basin. Amazonite is, however, really not found there; rather, it may be found in other regions of Brazil, in Colorado and Virginia in the United States, in Australia, and in Madagascar. There are stories of the warrior women of the ancient Amazon tribe in Brazil using amazonite stones to adorn their shields, cure sickness and heal wounds. A Brazilian legend boasts of the Amazon people giving ''green stones'' to the visitors of the region. Europeans were already familiar with green microcline (my-krO-kline) from Russia and assumed the blue-green rock given to them by the Indians of South America was the same stone. As it turns out, the legend was most likely referring to Nephrite (jade). Conquistadors adorned themselves in amazonite and ancient Egyptians carved Chapter Seven, The Judgement of Osiris, of the Book of the Dead onto slabs of amazonite rock. A scarab ring and a number of other objects carved from green amazonite were found with the treasures of Tutankhamen. Amazonite stone is also referred to as "Colorado jade" or "Pikes Peak jade" because of its resemblance to jade. Amazonite is usually pale green, but can sometimes be blue-green, turquoise or yellow-green and can also have white streaks.
