Amazing Amazonite

Amazonite & sterling silver necklace
Seven Seas Necklace - $55
Hey, all you beautiful people! Today on the blog I wanted to share a bit about another one of my favorite gemstones: amazonite. Amazonite features heavily in my latest collection, and customers are loving it's gorgeous turquoise color! When I first spotted the beautiful amazonite I used in the Spring line, it was really the starting point for the whole collection - the bright and juicy gemstones reminded me of warm weather and days by the ocean, and I just knew this gem would be a focal point in the new line.   

Reef Bracelet - $85


Amazonite can range in color from pale blue, to the deep blue-green shade seen in the Keltie Leanne Spring line. This mineral can be found in the United States, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Australia and Namibia, while the gemstone used in our collection is Russian amazonite.

The healing philosophy of gemstones tells us that amazonite enhances communication, especially when worn at the throat, and has powerful healing properties. Amazonite is said to get it's name from the Amazon River, where many deposits of this mineral have been found, and is sometimes referred to as the "Hope Stone" because it is thought to inspire confidence and hope. 

Which of these amazonite pieces is your favorite?
