Massive bluish-green Amazonite.
Amazonite is the rare green variety of the microcline, a mineral from the feldspar group. It owes its beautiful green color to a high concentration of lead and water.
It is used in the creation of ceramics and porcelain.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a cardboard box. 4 cm square.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The minerals come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
