Amazonite Coua

Stunning amazonite wrapped in sterling silver bobbed from a sterling silver chain and ear wire. Named for its delicate flute like sound and legend to protect its wearer.

"A Brazilian legend boasts of the Amazon people giving ''green stones'' to the visitors of the region. Europeans assumed this stone was native to their lands of South America. Amazonite is actually not found in the Amazon Basin and the legend was most likely referring to Nephrite (jade). It is believed that Amazonite was first called 'Amazon Stone.' Amazonite is a green variety of microcline feldspar and its magnificent color is due to lead impurities. Amazonite is said to bestow truth, honor and integrity to its wearer." Fire Mountain Gems
