Collection: amazonite

Amazonite is a scarce green-blue type of microcline, which is a member of the feldspar mineral family. The color of amazonite is due to minute amounts of lead and water in the crystalline structure. The stone was historically thought to have been first discovered around the Amazon River region and was a valued gem by ancient cultures as a representation of truth, bravery, and impassioned harmony, and was used in jewelry, pendants, and amulets.

Amazonite comes in different shades, ranging from mint-green to turquoise-blue, and has subtle striations. Hardness is 6.0–6.5 on the Mohs scale; it is durable for daily use. Amazonite is mostly sold untreated or enhanced to preserve the natural characteristic of authenticity.

Amazonite's gentle but steady energy appeals to those wanting balance, truth, and calm focus in their everyday lives.

Although amazonite is typically regarded as a single stone, there are a few natural varieties of amazonite that may differ slightly in colors and textures. 

• Classic Amazonite: In a smooth finish, this type is the most common and displays a softer turquoise-green color.
• Russian Amazonite: A superior green contrast with bright white streaks, this is the most sought after for the striking contrast it creates. 
• Peruvian & Brazilian Amazonite: This variety is generally known to have softer tones and shine, making it a good quality for jewelry making.
• Raw Amazonite Stone: Excellent for usage in energy work, or a rough, aesthetically pleasing stone. (precede with the following statement for listing purposes: "A raw piece of stone.")
• Amazonite Cabochons: Polished and flat dome shapes that display the movement of the amazonite color with the quartz/crystals beautifully. 
• Origin: Amazonite can be found in several places, primarily in Russia (Ilmen Mts.), Brazil, Madagascar, India, and the United States (Colorado and Virginia). The stones do slightly differ by region, which adds to the overall natural variety and charm of amazonite.

Before purchasing an Amazonite stone online, it is essential to learn how its quality and value are determined.

Normal Price Range:

• Low Grade: $0.50 - $5 per carat (pale color or heavily veined).
• Mid Grade: $5 - $15 per carat (balanced tone and polish).
• High Grade: $20 - $40+ per carat (pure vivid color, smooth texture, few inclusions).

Whenever you purchase Amazonite crystals, you should always determine:

• The stone is real and is not dyed or treated.
• The vendor is transparent about their business details (i.e., full name, phone number, address, and certification, if available).
• There are images of the actual stone that they will ship to you.

If you are designing jewelry, Amazonite cabochons or polished beads are the best option. The amazonite waves in the smooth surface of the stone look great against gold or silver elements to emphasize the natural color of the stone.
