Brazilian Amazonite Bracelet — FAQ

What is Brazilian amazonite?
Amazonite is a teal-to-verdigris variety of microcline feldspar. Brazilian material is appreciated for its rich blue-green color, soft silky sheen, and clean polish ideal for bracelets.
What color and pattern should I expect?
Expect teal, turquoise, or blue-green hues with white microcline veining or gentle zoning. Natural shade differences and streaks are normal across hand-cut beads.
Amazonite vs. turquoise or chrysocolla — how do they differ?
Amazonite (feldspar) shows a silky luster and typically little to no dark matrix. Turquoise is a phosphate with brown/black matrix. Chrysocolla is softer and often mottled with other copper minerals.
How can I tell real amazonite from dyed stone or glass?
Genuine amazonite feels cool/heavy and shows natural white veining with a soft sheen. Glass may show bubbles; overly uniform neon teal or dye pooled in fissures suggests dyed material.
Is amazonite durable for daily bracelets?
Yes—amazonite is about Mohs 6–6.5. Suitable for everyday wear with care; avoid hard knocks and gritty abrasion to preserve the polish.
How do I clean a Brazilian amazonite bracelet?
Use lukewarm water + mild soap, wipe with a soft cloth, and dry fully. Avoid harsh chemicals; skip ultrasonic/steam if plated components or visible fractures are present.
Can I shower or swim with it? Will sunlight affect the color?
Brief clean-water contact is fine, but avoid chlorine, saltwater, and hot tubs. Prolonged intense sunlight may fade color—store away from strong UV.
What does amazonite symbolize?
In crystal traditions, amazonite is chosen as a reminder of calm confidence, balanced expression, and clear boundaries—belief-based cues used in mindful routines.
How do I pick the right bracelet size?
Measure a snug wrist and add 0.5–0.7 in (1.2–1.8 cm) for elastic comfort. Small ≈ 5.5–6 in, Medium ≈ 6–6.5 in, Large ≈ 6.5–7 in.
6 mm vs 8 mm — which bead size is better?
6 mm = sleek, stack-friendly color; 8 mm = bolder teal presence that showcases veining in a single-strand focal.
Is amazonite ever dyed or stabilized?
Most quality Brazilian amazonite is offered untreated. Some market stones may be dyed or surface-stabilized; reputable sellers provide clear disclosure.
What stacks well with Brazilian amazonite?
For luminous contrast, add baroque pearls. For warmth, layer gold-plated accents. For crisp balance, mix clear quartz or black onyx.
