"Powerful" Peruvian Amazonite Chunk Cotton Necklace

Green Peruvian Amazonite is a soothing, calming stone that can be traced back to the semi-mythical Amazonians of pre-Columbian South and Central America, who believed the blue-green hue to be created by copper compounds. Ancient cultures also used it medicinally to heal wounds and fortify their shields in battle. Its name stems from its discovery near the Amazon River in Brazil. Today, Amazonite's healing properties are still valued — it helps one attain a sense of health and balance. This chunk crystal necklace has been black waxed on cotton, with a tie closure at the back; an elegant reminder of ancient tales and concepts held timeless by this remarkable gemstone.
