STONE DETAILS

Amazonite Amazonite takes its name from the River Amazon, due to the wealth of green stones that were found there in the past, but it is doubtful that much green feldspar was actually found in the Amazon basin. Amazonite belongs to the group known as silicates of the tectosilicate family, and is an example of Microclines. It is characterized by the triclinic crystal system and the hardness of 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale. Amazonite can be found in different countries, including Brazil, India, the Ural mountains of Russia, and Colorado in the USA.

Hematite The word Hematite comes from the Greek word “aima” which means Blood, due to the red coloration found in some varieties of Hematite. It is an iron oxide with a chemical composition of Fe₂O₃, which is characterized by the trigonal crystal system and the hardness of 5-6.5 on the Mohs scale. Hematite can be found in various countries, including Brazil, India, the USA, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Russia, Ukraine and New Zealand.
