Here are some pictures of Colorado Amazonite which we discuss and work in often.
Small thumbnail size specimens   Large cabinet piece   The blue coloration of amazonite is due to a very small amount of lead while formation occured. Cabochons from amazonite sometimes have this elegant "sheen" or chatoyancy like this one Mrs.CP did.  -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

hmmmmm..... is there a way for you to upload it to youtube? That's what I was doing by plugging the camera memory card into the pc with the Opal pics.
If you have a memory card reader for your pc it would be pretty easy to transfer from the card to the pc. There has to be an easy software solution, Canon wouldn't let that dangle. I know it's a pain but if you can't solve it, contact their customer support. It's gotta be an easy fix. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
