Amazonite is known for its soft aqua blue and blue-green colors. It has a calm, natural beauty that works beautifully in everyday jewelry, from tiny stud earrings to bracelets, necklaces, and statement rings.
What Is Amazonite?
Amazonite is a natural variety of the mineral microcline, a type of feldspar prized for its distinctive blue-green color. Despite its name, Amazonite is not actually mined from the Amazon River region. It is believed to have been named for its resemblance to the lush green and blue colors associated with the Amazon rainforest.
Natural Amazonite can range from pale aqua to vibrant turquoise blue, often with subtle white marbling and natural patterns that make each stone unique.
