Definition
Another name for amazonite; a greenish-blue semi-precious stone used in jewelry and carving.
Etymology
A compound of Amazon plus stone, an alternate name for the mineral amazonite, emphasizing its gemstone properties in everyday English rather than geological terminology.
Kelly Says
Amazonstone shows how gems get multiple names—'amazonite' is the mineralogist's term, but 'amazonstone' is what jewelers and crafters use, each community holding onto the name that feels most natural in their trade.
