Stone Beads — Amazonite, Aventurine, Green Stones

Amazonite - a soft green or blue green stone is realitively new to the stone bead world. It's soft colour is very attactive. However, it is not a strong stone and can scratch or break if abused. While is named for the Amazon River, it actually comes from deposits in Russia and Colorado.

Aventurine is another member of the quartz family of stones, it can be green or orange/brown.

We try to choose consistent stock, but the nature of natural stones is that there will be inconsistency between strands and between individual beads.
