  The Sterling Silver Amazonite Necklace is exotic and exquisite. Amazonite is a type of microcline feldspar. Feldspars are minerals that are commonly found in the earths crust and make up about 60 percent of the earths core. The green color of this particular feldspar is considered extremely rare and extremely collectable.

  Amazonite is a very popular gemstone used in jewelry because of its beautiful shades of green. The greens can vary from a pale light green that looks almost frosted to a deeper blue green color that mimics the ocean. It can often contain white streaks that run throughout the stone itself and are considered to be a crystal.

  This stones particular color of green is so sought after that many jewelry companies set the stone in various sterling silver and gold settings to enhance the glorious color. It truly is a breathtaking stone as seen in the sterling silver necklace we offer.

  Amazonite can be found in the Russian mountains, in Brazil, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Namibia and in the Untied States in Colorado. It was first found in the deposit of Colorado back in 1876 and has been mined there ever since. Colorado has since become the number one supplier of Amazonite stones in the US.
  One would think by the name that it would be found in the Amazon but curiously enough, the stone has never been found in that location. Some believe that it may have been thought to come from the Amazon because of popular folklore history of the Amazonian women warriors.
