{"product_id":"heart-amazonite-1-5-2-2","title":"Amazonite Heart - 1-1.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Amazonite Heart is a vivid blue-green stone crossed by white feldspar striations that thread through the body in irregular streaks. Those pale markings are a natural feature of the material rather than a flaw, and their density varies widely, with some pieces reading almost solid teal and others heavily veined. The polish is smooth with a slight silky quality where the feldspar cleavage catches light. At this size the Heart tucks easily into a hand or a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmazonite is traditionally associated with balance and harmony, with a long-standing reputation as a stone of measured speech and considered response. A secondary association with calm and stress relief supports that, and it is commonly kept in workspaces and shared rooms where friction tends to build. The size makes these practical to carry rather than display, and they work well arranged around a larger central stone in a grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Heart, Throat\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Virgo, Aquarius\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Goat\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Uranus\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth, Water\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 6-6.5\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Amazonite\u003cbr\u003eForm: Heart\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 25-38 mm (1-1.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 10-20 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Sold by Single Unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmazonite is a potassium aluminium silicate of the feldspar family, triclinic in system, with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5. The blue-green to teal colour comes from lead and water impurities held within the feldspar structure, and the white striations running through the body are areas of uncoloured feldspar, natural and expected in the material. Despite the name, Amazonite has no significant deposits along the Amazon River; the naming is historical rather than geological. Most material is natural, though heavily saturated stock showing uniform colour with no white matrix at all can indicate dye, and visible striations are consistent with untreated stone. Amazonite was worked in Ancient Egypt and recovered from Tutankhamun's tomb, giving it a documented history few blue-green stones can match. Sources include Brazil, the USA, Russia, Madagascar, Ethiopia, and India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
