Amazonite Beads (86)

Where Is Amazonite From?

The refreshing color and sheen of gorgeous amazonite may be a little bit reminiscent of the Amazon jungle, but don't be fooled by the vibrant and verdant blue-greens of these stones. Interestingly enough, the amazonite gemstone earned its name when gemologists found it and confused it with another gem that had been discovered in the Amazon rainforest. Amazonite is really found in Brazil, Norway, Madagascar, Russia, and even in Colorado and Virginia.

What Makes Amazonite Special?

Amazonite, a variety of microcline, is a potassium-rich alkali feldspar. Due to its rarity and beautiful coloration, some call this gemstone Amazon Jade. Our amazonite beads are made from fine pieces of this rare, opaque gemstone, which comes in a variety of shades. Amazonite is primarily green, but has varying degrees of greenness as well as undertones of a wide range of bluish hues. This gemstone can even contain its own unique patterns of thin, white, grid-like stripes which may be different from bead to bead, just like fingerprints. As a result, each and every one of the amazonite beads that you find at the Bead Traders is sure to be one of a kind.
