Lightly Polished Amazonite from Brazil
Amazonite tumbled stones, lightly polished to retain natural characteristics.
These larger sized amazonite tumbled stones come from Bahia in north east Brazil.
They have a vitreous lustre which refers to the way they interact with light. Stones with this kind of lustre reflect light in a similar way to glass.
Amazonite also known as Amazon Stone is the blue-green variety of the mineral microcline. Its colour comes from impurities of lead.
In the past amazonite came mostly from Miyask in the Ilmen Mountains close to Chelyabinsk in Russia. More recently it has also been found in Colorado and a few other locations in the United States. Most of the world's amazonite comes from Madagascar and Brazil.
These amazonite tumbled stones have a distinctive smell that's reminiscent of plasticine. It comes from the type of wax that's been used to polish them.
Although classed as extra large, size does vary from piece to piece. We have therefore split them into medium, large and extra large.
Multiples of 5, 10 and 20 amazonite stones will only include large and extra large sizes.
Please bear in mind these stones have only been lightly polished to retain the ruggedness of the raw material.
