Amazonite is a gemstone variety of green microcline, a feldspar mineral. It is named after the Amazon River in Brazil, though surprisingly no deposits have been found in that location. The lively green or blue-green color is extremely attractive.

What are some of the properties of Amazonite gemstones

Amazonite, cut en cabochon, with a rounded and convex polished surface, is a classic stone to be set in silver rings or carved in imaginative forms. In fact a fine quality amazonite can be mistaken for precious jade. Amazonite does not undergo any kind of treatment. Amazonite is gaining popularity but is still an affordable fine gem for its carat weight.

What are good ways to use Amazonite gemstones

Amazonite is said to calm one's emotions and soothe nerves, and to enhance creativity and the ability to express oneself. Perhaps the strongest recommendation for its metaphysical power is that amazonite is said to make your married life happier.

Ive been shopping here many times before, so navigating around was easy. I am accustomed to the quality of the items and that's the main reason I come here. When I need non heated stones I know I can count on GemSelect being authentic. I trust them because I double check their quality. And never had problems with them. And yes I do recommend shopping there to some of my clients who are "less knowledgable" of industry. GemSelect is so user friendly they're great for beginner gem shoppers!

Well fell in love with the site right away ordered two many items I knew I would return a few. Decided I wanted to invest in a sapphire emerald or ruby after more research. The diamonds that I received we just stuck together just ordered one more I will have 10 in all diamonds two yellow six white. I'm so very happy I didn't know what I was going to keep and definitely diamonds were winner.
