Amazonite
"The Stone of Hope and Courage"
|
|
|
by Raven |
|
|
Amazonite is considered a soothing stone that provides hope and confidence and called the stone of courage and was said to be named after the Amazon women warriors. It is also called the "hope stone" because it inspires confidence and hope. Amazonite is a microline feldspar silicate named after the war paint worn by the Amazon Warriors.
Amazonite has a powerful, filtering action: it blocks geopathic stress, absorbs microwaves and cell phone emanations and protects against electromagnetic pollution. It should be placed between you and the source of any pollution or taped to a cell phone. Amazonite filters the information passing through the brain and combines it with intuition.
The known mineral is Microline and has been used as a semi-precious stone under the names of Amazonite and Perthite. Amazonite is a gem variety of microcline feldspar that displays a schiller of light, which caused by inclusions. Schiller is a lustrous reflection from planes in a mineral grain and is similar to what is more commonly known as iridescence. A feature of the stone’s crystal structure causes the schiller. Orthoclase feldspar and albite are present in close association, arranged in layers. This causes an interference effect of light.
Microcline is a polymorph of other minerals that share the same chemistry but have different crystal structures. If positive identification cannot be made by field methods then the specimen may be referred to as a potassium feldspar or K-spar. The other k-spar minerals are sanidine, orthoclase. The differences between these minerals are minor in hand samples but microcline tends to be deeper colored, is usually striated on cleavage planes and is the only one that can be, but is not always, a deep green (amazonite).
Twinning is common on all feldspars and follows certain twin laws such as the Albite Law, the Pericline Law, the Carlsbad Law, the Manebach Law and the Baveno Law. Albite and pericline Law type twinning produce stacks of twin layers that are typically only fractions of millimeters to several millimeters thick. These twinned layers can be seen as striation like grooves on the surface of the crystal and unlike true striations these also appear on the cleavage surfaces. Albite and pericline twinning is more common in plagioclase feldspars than with microcline. The Carlsbad Law twin produces what appears to be two intergrown crystals growing in opposite directions? Two different twin laws, the Manebach and Baveno laws, produce crystals with one prominent mirror plane and penetrant angles or notches into the crystal. Single crystals showing a perfect twin are rare and are often collected by twin fanciers.

Raven is a Pacific Islander born and raised in the Philippines. She has a degree in Bachelor of Science and Business Administration and attended two years of graduate school. Raven lives with her husband and son in Las Vegas, Nevada. She created an e-commerce business, Raven Crystals guided with love, intuition, and the spiritual magical energy of the Raven.
Raven is a Reiki Level 3 Practitioner and a student of Quantum Touch Healing. She channels Reiki Energy daily for distant healings and practices hands on healing several times a week.
Raven became interested in healing stones when she first became a student of Reiki. She was delighted with the beauty and qualities of the stones and decided she wanted to share them with friends and family. She began purchasing stones and studying the healing properties of each stone. Her desire grew and she wanted to provide unique, rare and hard to find items, as they were the most intriguing in shape and have such radiant colors along with their extraordinary energy and healing properties.
Raven has created an e-commerce business with the intention of sending Love, Light and Peace to everyone receiving Earth’s children from the mineral kingdom. She personally selects each specimen and provides an abundance of information about each crystal and mineral on display.
Raven has created several one of a kind new age products; Raven Energy Wands, the Antahkarana Grid with crystals and minerals and several display ideas found only at Raven Crystals.
