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 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.
Name: Amazonite comes from the belief that it was found in the Amazon River.
