Matte Amazonite Gemstone Beads, 6mm Round (strand)

Amazonite is a relatively rare blue-green variety of microcline (a feldspar mineral) used as a semiprecious stone. This opaque stone has a silky luster or silvery sheen and is often found with white, yellow or gray inclusions. Amazonite, sometimes called Amazon stone, is believed to have many healing characteristics, including improving your skin, marriage, clarity of thought, and social interaction. It is also credited with alleviating muscle spasms, stress, and exhaustion. Even when polished, amazonite beads maintain a somewhat raw, natural texture that makes this pale blue-green stone even more appealing to many people.
