Amazonite, with its beautiful bluish green hues, is a variant of the mineral Microcline Feldspar that forms naturally in granite. Feldspars, in general, are one of the most commonly found minerals on the earth's crust; but the ones such as Amazonite with their unique color, iridescence, and Schiller effects are hard to come by. While some gemologists attribute the bluish green color of Amazonite to the presence of copper, others give lead and hydroxide inclusions the credit for endowing Amazonite with its amazing bluish green tinge. The Schiller effect that causes scattering of light by the minute plate-like layers within the crystalline structure of Amazonite gives it to a bronze-like luster making it appear even more radiant.

While jewelry makers from around the world use Amazonite in their jewelry designs purely for its beauty, believers in the metaphysical properties of gemstones include it in their jewelry for its powers. Amazonite is believed to have a soothing effect on its wearer by releasing him/her from all fears and anxieties as well as other negative energies such as aggravation. Amazonite also clears one's mind, enables clear thinking, and gives courage to the wearer in difficult situations. It is also believed to have the powers to make married life happier. Other powers include love and the ability to absorb harmful electromagnetic waves emanating from cell phones and computers.
