Amazonite is a stone of harmony, both within the self and among people. It is a truth-teller and a peacemaker, assisting one in communicating one's true thoughts and feelings without over-emotionalism. This is the first step towards both inner and outer peace. The second step is activated by Amazonite's awakening of compassion through stimulation of the heart chakra (energy center in the body). Once one has expressed one's truth, it is necessary to assume the other person's point of view in order to achieve harmony, and Amazonite facilitates this. A similar process operates within oneself, as the competing factions of one's personality with their separate motivations and desires come to awareness through self-examination. Sleeping with Amazonite can bring these inner components into focus through the symbolism of dreams. Meditation with Amazonite makes everything more conscious, so one can listen to and integrate all aspects of the self. Because it is a stone of truth, one can trust the visions, dreams and intuitions that surface while working with Amazonite. Amazonite can also empower us in manifesting our dreams and desires. It is a magnifier of our intentions, and because it works through the throat chakra, these intentions must be spoken aloud. Holding an Amazonite while forcefully affirming aloud what one wishes to create can powerfully enhance one's ability to bring it into being. The power of the spoken word is a great and mystical thing—remember that Genesis affirms that the Universe was brought into being by the word of God. Amazonite teaches us to speak the truth and then assists us in making what we speak come true.

When one needs to persevere through extended time, hard effort and entangling difficulties, wearing or carrying Tiger Eye can lend one the strength to overcome fatigue or discouragement.
