The beauty and therapeutic properties of amazonite have long been revered. As long back as the 10th century BC, this light green mineral rock is thought to have existed. Because it was believed to have been found in the Amazon River Basin in Brazil, amazonite is also known as the "Amazon stone." There aren't any deposits there, though; instead, amazonite can be found in other sections of Brazil, as well as in Virginia and Colorado in the US, Australia, and Madagascar. There are legends about Amazonite stones being used by the warrior women of the prehistoric Amazon tribe in Brazil to adorn their shields, treat illness, and mend wounds. According to a myth from Brazil, visitors to the region are given "green stones" by the Amazonian natives. The blue-green rock brought to Europeans by the Indians of South America was mistakenly thought to be the same stone because Europeans were already familiar with green microcline (my-krO-kline) from Russia. The legend was most likely referring to Nephrite, it turns out (jade). Ancient Egyptians carved the Book of the Dead's Chapter Seven, The Judgement of Osiris, upon slabs of amazonite rock, and conquistadors dressed themselves in the material. Along with Tutankhamen's riches, a scarab ring and several other items were discovered. They were carved from green amazonite. 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.
