Legendary Uses

“In ancient India, Egypt, and Mesopotamia amazonite was used as a decorative material for buildings and was a popular amulet stone. An amazonite scarab ring was found among Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s treasures, and in biblical tradition, the stone was believed to be the third stone in the breast plate of the High Priest, Aaron. One legend says it gets its name from adorning the shield of the Amazonians, a formidable tribe of the Bronze Age female warriors. Some stories claim more ferocious women had one breast removed to be more effective in their archery skills, and rubbed their wounds with polished amazonite to avoid infection.”
