Colorado Amazonite Options

[CP]

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.

Yep Chris that was the first thing I tried to do but I think the new camera has formatted and propietized the new card to read only with canon software. Normally you would be able to just pop the card in the computer's card slot and transfer the files. But when we put the card into the computer the vids that are on the card (viewable on the camera) are not visible as files, it just reads as an empty card.
You're right though, Canon did not let it dangle at all......it's hooked and pinned as an "only use with their stuff" thing.... GRRR!
