Amazonite Peru/ irregular beads 6x8mm/ 39cm/ string KAAMZPS01

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