Amazonite settles into blue-green the color of shallow water, sometimes streaked with white in a way that makes every piece look like it was cut from its own small landscape. It's associated with saying what you actually mean instead of the softened version you default to, useful on a day you've been rehearsing a sentence in your head and keep losing your nerve. Hold it flat in your palm for a minute before a conversation you've been avoiding, or keep it on a desk during a week that calls for plain speaking. Amazonite is a feldspar mineral, specifically a variety of microcline, and its blue-green color comes from trace amounts of lead and water in the crystal structure. This piece is shaped into a smooth palm stone. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. Something to hold while you find the plain version of the sentence.
