 An 8mm amazonite bead has been hand wrapped in non-tarnish silver wire shaped into a nest of spirals.

Amazonite is a member of the feldspars group of minerals which make up more of the earth's crust than all other known minerals combined. Associated with the zodiac sign Virgo and one of the birthstones of December, it is widely believed that Amazonite is named after the Amazonian women warriors. There is also a belief that Amazonite was named after the River Amazon. However, it is unlikely that the River Amazon was rich in Amazonite, as whilst Amazonite does occur in Brazil, it has never been discovered in the vicinity of the great river.

Amazonite calms emotions and empowers the wearer with courage. Additionally, Amazonite enhances self-expression and creativity. In addition to this, Amazonite works on the throat chakra and is especially effective at aligning the heart and solar plexus chakras. It can also be used to control levels of calcium within the body. -referenced from gemtradenet.com
