Russian Amazonite 20x16mm to 8x7mm Top Drilled Nugget Semi Precious Beads per Strand

Amazonite is a gorgeous and classic stone that has been used in jewelry since ancient times. A form of feldspar (a common mineral within the Earth's crust), Amazonite is a brilliant blue-green opaque stone that is also relatively soft, which makes it perfect for beadwork and carvings. Amazonite is mostly found in Russia, Myanmar, India, Brazil and the USA. These Amazonite nuggets measure from 20mm long by 16mm wide to 8mm long by 7mm wide. The holes measure from .5mm to 1mm in diameter. The strand measures from 8.5" to 6" inches long and there are approximately 30 beads on a strand.All photos have been taken indoors with daylight, but as always, computer and mobile screens display colors differently.
