MORE INFORMATION

Amazonite (also called "Amazon stone") is a mineral , a green variety of microcline feldspar .

The name derives from the Amazon River , where the green stones were found specifically in the jungle of Peru , but it is unlikely that there could be deposits of green feldspar in the Amazonian plain. More likely their presence on the river bed is due to the fluvial transport from the mountain deposits of origin.

According to Strabo and Pliny the Elder, the ancient Garamantes people of the Sahara mined amazonite in the Tibesti mountains.

The Amazonite it is a rare mineral. It is almost entirely extracted from the Miass area in the Ilmen mountains , 80 kilometers southwest of Chelyabinsk , Russia , within granite rocks. Recently, higher quality crystals have been found in the Pike's Peak area, Colorado , in association with quartz , orthoclase , and albite crystals within granites or pegmatites . Crystal Park, El Paso County, Colorado is also known for Amazonite crystals. Amazonite has also been found within pegmatite in Madagascar and Brazil .

Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz containing inclusions of crocidolite , a mineral belonging to the asbestos group. The presence of these isooriented fibers, yellow in color tending to gold, gives the mass a particular effect called chalking . It is mainly used as a gem for jewelry making usually cabochon cut. The mineral comes mainly from South Africa and is appreciated for its particularity.

The agate (from the ancient greek : ἀχάτης , achátes ) is a variety of chalcedony , generic name given to quartz , when this occurs in compact masses of silica microcrystalline with a fibrous-oriented texture. Agate has a typical zoned structure and is visible even to the naked eye, thanks to the diversity of color.

Agate is formed by rhythmic deposition of silica , usually within cavities amygdalari of rocks basaltic , or petrified (agatized) woods.

When the agate is presented in flat and parallel bands, of a contrasting color (light / dark), it takes the name of onyx (from the Greek ὄνυξ, ónyx , nail, for the translucent aspect). Taking advantage of the layers of contrasting color (generally two but, exceptionally, up to five), onyx is used in the glyptic to realize cameos .

Depending on the colors of the bands, there are different denominations:

• brown base layer: sardonyx;
• red base layer: onyx-carnelian.

Angelite is a variant of anhydrite , a mineral formed by calcium sulfate anhydrous. The name of the mineral derives from the Greek anhidros which means anhydrous, due to the anhydrous chemical structure compared to gypsum.
