Amazonite For the last 5,000+ years, Amazonite has served many purposes, making its appearance during the Bronze Age in Ancient Egyptian culture as a source of positive energy used to override evil & negativity, which was an important task when making the transition to the afterlife. It was so popular in Ancient Egypt that it was used in jewelry, amulets, funerary masks, & tomb decorations, as was the case with Tutankhamun's famous tomb, where an Amazonite ring & other decorations were found. There are connections between Amazonite & the cult of Osiris, since 'The Judgement of Osiris,' which is the 7th chapter in the Book of the Dead, was carved into slabs of Amazonite. Some scholars believe that the appeal of the cult of Osiris was inherent in the concept of an otherworldly afterlife. The Ancient Greeks also loved Amazonite, & like the Egyptians, used it to make jewelry. The Greeks linked it to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, courage, & inspiration. As a result, the stone came to represent good luck & prosperity. Much later during the Middle Ages, Amazonite was still a prized stone, & this time it was used to repel against evil spirits & sorcery. We are not sure where Amazonite was first discovered, but some link it to the Amazon River in Brazil, while others say it might be related to the famed Amazon tribe of women warriors. As a result of its historical applications, Amazonite is associated with promoting universal love & harmony, aiding in releasing toxic emotions, helping to overcome fear of judgment & confrontation, setting strong boundaries, & moving beyond past traumas. Believed to be connected to the 5th Chakra, or Throat Chakra, Amazonite is thought to aid in clear communication & analytical thinking. In some regions of the world, Amazonite is the birthstone for March, & it is also connected to the zodiac sign of Virgo.

Amethyst Amethyst's name is derived from "amethystos," which means "not drunk" in Ancient Greek, because it was thought that amethysts would help a person maintain sharp wits in both business & battle. Commonly associated with royalty because of its purple coloring, Amethyst has been used for centuries to symbolize deep love, happiness, humility, sincerity, & wealth. It is associated with the 7th Chakra, also known as the Crown Chakra, located at the top of the head, which represents the energy & spiritual center of the body. Amethyst is also connected to the zodiac signs of Capricorn, Pisces, Aquarius, & Virgo, & it is considered the birthstone for February.

Rhodochrosite In varying shades of dark pink, Rhodochrosite is the national stone of Argentina and the official stone of the state of Colorado. Ancient Incan myths connect the stone to Canqui Tupac, the warrior who crossed the perilous obstacles of Lake Titicaca only to meet the beautiful priestess Nusta Ajlla & fall in love. Their love forbidden by the Incan emperor, Canqui & Nusta eloped & lived happily ever after. Rhodochrosite is said to have formed where Nusta was eventually buried. Rhodochrosite is believed to support feelings of compassion, deeper emotional connections, & openness to love without judgment or expectations, so naturally it is thought to open the 4th Chakra, or Heart Chakra. It is most closely associated with the zodiac signs of Scorpio & Leo.
