The pale blue-green color of this round AA-grade amazonite cabochon makes it a great choice for tropical- or water-themed jewelry. This gemstone is best suited for earrings, pendants and jewelry pieces with protective settings that won't expose the gem to a lot of wear and tear. The color is nicely complemented by white metal and lower-karat gold. Amazonite is a form of microcline feldspar and displays a lightly marbled yellow-green to blue-green color. It is generally opaque and is a relatively soft gem that should be handled with care.
