Amazonite is used for luck, gambling and success in Wiccan and eclectic witchcraft, following Cunningham, who places it under the element of Earth. The stone is a green feldspar named for the Amazon River, though it is not actually found there; the name stuck to green stones traded out of the region in the nineteenth century. In modern crystal practice it is also worn for honest, easy communication, which pairs well with luck: the interview goes better when you can say what you mean.

The Chinese coin comes from a different lineage. Cash coins were China's everyday money for roughly two thousand years, and their shape, a round coin with a square hole, was read as heaven surrounding earth. In feng shui they are hung in threes on red thread as a wealth charm and tucked into wallets and cash drawers. The finer points of placement are best learned from feng shui practitioners; on a bracelet, the coin simply carries the wish for money to come and stay.

Together, you can wear this for job hunts, business launches, bets you have thought about and any day you would like the odds a little friendlier.

1. Cleanse the beads with smoke, moonlight or a quick rinse; amazonite tolerates brief water. Keep the coin charm dry so its finish lasts.
2. Hold the bracelet and name the specific chance you want luck for. Vague luck is hard to notice; "the Tuesday interview" is not.
3. Wear it on the left wrist to draw luck and opportunity in.
4. Before the moment itself, touch the coin and say one sentence about what you want to walk away with.
5. Recharge it on selenite or under the moon each month, or on a Thursday, Jupiter's day for luck and abundance in Western planetary magic. Follow your own sense of when it needs it.

What does the Chinese coin on this bracelet mean?

The Chinese coin charm is a prosperity symbol: a cash coin, round for heaven with a square hole for earth, of the kind used as money in China for centuries and hung in feng shui as a wealth charm. On an amazonite bracelet it points the stone's luck-and-success quality toward money and opportunity coming your way.

Is amazonite good for luck?

Yes, amazonite is worn for luck in Wiccan and eclectic witchcraft. Cunningham lists its powers as gambling and success and places it under the element of Earth, which makes it a stone for chances you take with some preparation behind them. Modern crystal practice adds easy, honest communication, a useful companion to luck in interviews and negotiations.

How do I cleanse an amazonite bracelet?

Cleanse an amazonite bracelet with smoke, sound, moonlight, selenite or a brief rinse under running water. Amazonite handles short water contact well, but the coin charm can tarnish, so keep it to a rinse rather than a soak and pat the bracelet dry. A pass through palo santo smoke is the simplest routine.

Which hand should I wear a luck bracelet on?

Wear a luck bracelet on the left wrist, the receiving side in modern crystal practice, so the drawing-in intention has a clear direction. Some practitioners switch it to the right when they are actively pitching or negotiating and want to project confidence. Both are fine; the intention you set matters more than the wrist.

How do I charge an amazonite bracelet?

Charge an amazonite bracelet on a selenite plate, under the full moon, or in a few minutes of morning sun, then hold it and name the chance you want luck for. Many practitioners choose Thursday, Jupiter's day in Western planetary magic, for luck and money work. Keep the coin charm dry while you do it.

What does it mean when your crystal bracelet breaks?

When a crystal bracelet breaks, the cord has usually worn through, and many witches also take it as the piece having done its job for you. Gather the beads and the coin, cleanse them, and restring or carry them; the coin alone makes a fine wallet charm. A snapped luck bracelet is not bad luck.
