Peruvian Amazonite Teardrop Pendant — Sterling Silver Necklace

A high grade Peruvian amazonite teardrop pendant, 13x18mm, set on a genuine sterling silver chain, 18 inches as standard with other lengths available on request. Amazonite from Peru carries the same soothing blue-green the stone is known for, entirely untreated and undyed, and it's traditionally tied to both the heart and throat chakras, a combination that leans toward speaking honestly from a settled emotional place.

What makes this teardrop shape worth choosing specifically? Amazonite is genuinely rare in gem quality, since well-coloured blue-green microcline is a small fraction of a mineral group that otherwise runs pink, white, and grey. A clean teardrop cut needs material free of the fractures and inconsistent colour that plague lower grades, so a well-cut piece like this is a real mark of the underlying stone's quality, not just the cutting.

A closer look at this piece

Amazonite is a blue-green variety of microcline feldspar, and its colour is understood to come from trace lead in the crystal structure, with some studies also implicating iron. It typically forms in pegmatites, where slow cooling deep underground gives crystals the time to develop good colour and clarity. Traditionally the stone is described as reducing stress, encouraging trust and forgiveness in relationships, and dispelling negativity in feeling, bringing the other chakras into harmony with the heart.

• Stone: High grade Peruvian amazonite, untreated, not dyed

• Chakras: Heart and throat

Wearing your pendant

The teardrop shape sits well close to the throat, which suits the piece's traditional association with honest communication. Take it off before showering, swimming, or applying lotion and perfume, since feldspar is softer than quartz and does better without regular moisture exposure. A dry soft cloth keeps the stone looking clean, and standard silver care keeps the chain from tarnishing.
