Amazonite is a form of microcline feldspar.
Amazonite opens and activates the heart and throat chakras, with its primary focus being balance and harmony. It is attributed with aligning the physical, etheric and astral bodies and balancing one’s male and female energies. It is also said to promote harmony between individuals, making it useful for conflict resolution.
For those who struggle to stay true to themselves in the face of others’ values and opinions, amazonite helps to maintain conviction and make a stand.
Perhaps that is why it has been credited with helping “lazy” teenagers. Peer group pressure and confidence issues may possibly be addressed successfully with amazonite’s assistance.
