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

Thanks Crusty! Here is a pair of diamond shaped Amazonite earrings Dan made. He set them in sterling silver with rose accents at the top. This pair was added to the Miners Market.

If the misses wore dangly bits I'd pick them up for her, but those are a bit big for anything she'd wear. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
