Hand-carved 30mm Amazonite heart suspended on a vintage style 18k gold cable chain. Heart is 30mm length and width.

Worn as jewelry in pre-Columbian South and Central America, Amazonite—also called Amazon Jade or Amazon Stone— is said to have adorned the shields of the semi-mythical Amazonians, a formidable tribe of female warriors thought to live in the 10th century B.C. Named for the Amazon River in Brazil and the lush jungle region where the original green stones were discovered, Amazonite is a powerful talisman of healing and prosperity, providing harmony and balance. We love the way this bright green mineral shimmers with quartz crystal and bands of feldspar matrix.
