Amazonite was first called 'Amazon Stone' - with the name taken from the Amazon River (although few actual feldspars like this exist in this area today). It is also sometimes called the stone of truth or "Hope Stone", as it is believed to help people along their path of self-discovery, soothing the spirit and calming the soul as they find contentment in personal harmony. In the past, artists were said to have found it particularly useful because they believed it cleared the lines of communication and thought.
