High Grade Amazonite BIG Nugget Beads 11x16-11x18, 16 INch Strands/22-24 Beads
Amazonite is a green to turquoise colored gemstone which is translucent or opaque with an off-white background color. It is a very pretty gem which is a form of the mineral microcline but renamed after the Amazon River in Brazil in an early attempt at marketing probably because the green color is reminiscent of the green jungles and green waters of this South American rainforest.
