Amazonite beads 8mm beads, rope 45pcs KAAMZ08B

Amazonite beads, 8mm beads. Amazonite is a semi-precious stone and belongs to the group of rare minerals. Amazonites are translucent, which means they let light in but are not transparent. They owe their unique greenish color to a trace admixture of lead. The ancients used to call it "the stone of youth" as it was supposed to hold back the aging of those who wore it. Today amazonite beads are worn mainly for their aesthetic value, they are beautifully colored and look great in their mix of colors.
