Each winter, she is greatly weakened and regains her full vitality in the spring.

Another legend from Greek mythology tells that this stone was named amazonite to honor the Amazon warriors and their courage. They carried shields adorned with this stone to protect them and give them strength. Thus, the Greeks also adorned their shields with amazonite to gain protection, courage, and strength.
