Amazonite is a stone that pacifies, soothes, and harmonizes. It is called "the hope stone". Its green, blue hues make you feel like you want to dive into it like an ocean and chill out in its gentle, energetic waves. It’s a stone that calls on the spirit of inner strength, magnified intention, and a commitment to using a positive attitude to get what you want.

The gem was first named “Amazon stone”, after the Amazon River - although there are no known occurrences near that river. Amazonite has been used as a gem for over 2000 years. It has been found in archaeological excavations of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Amazonite ranges from colorless to white, yellow, bluish, pink, red, gray, or many different shades of green, from pale green to bluish aqua-green.

Octopuses are creatures that display incredible flexibility, creativity, intelligence, and psychic ability. The octopus symbol represents our ability to overcome challenging situations with creativity and intelligence. The Octopus reminds us to express ourselves even if our instincts say otherwise.
