Definition: In the Bible, "amazonite" refers to a type of gemstone that is commonly found in the Earth's crust but has also been described as being highly valuable. It is also known as "Jasper," which has historical associations with royalty. The term "Amazonite" comes from the Latin word for "blue sky," referring to its coloration, and it is believed that it was mined by the ancient peoples of South America. The term "Blue Gemstone" was first used in 1872 by German gemologist Wilhelm Kosslyn and it was later adopted in English as Amazonite. The stone is said to have a blue or green hue when polished, making it a popular gem among jewelers. It's often associated with royalty and has been considered sacred throughout the world. The color can also indicate the wearer's status or the wealth of the person wearing it. There are several types of Amazonite found around the globe, including Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, Red, White, etc. In biblical times, "Amazonite" may have been associated with royalty and the supernatural in Egypt where Queen Nefertari was said to wear it as a symbol of her power over the underworld. It's also possible that Amazonite played an important role in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics because they often depicted gemstones such as blue or green. In Christianity, "Amazonite" may have been associated with Jesus Christ and his crucifixion as well as the Virgin Mary, though this is not entirely certain due to the varying interpretations of Christian belief.
