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

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.

first time using the site. Sorting the stones by color shape and size is super easy. And would definitely recommend to someone who has an idea of what they are looking for but is also looking for multiple options.

I’ve talked about buying Gems from Gemselect to my co-Workers. I also wanted to find out about Gemselect so I made a small purchase. I will be making bigger purchases in the future.
