green stone bead, what is it?
Last week I bought this green stone Trollbead at the LD near my MIL's home. No name on it, I just picked it out of a tray because it was so pretty!
Pale green with white stripes and swirls.
I was fairly sure it was Aventurine, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I think it is too pale to be the Faceted Green Jasper, but the markings are sort of jasper-y. And it does have a pale teal hint to it, like Amazonite. But the stock photos of Aventurine and Amazonite don't show any stripes or swirls.
Four pictures. Your thoughts? Anyone have a green stone with markings like this?
The colour is most accurate in the first two pictures.

Well, all the stone experts are telling me Amazonite!
Alrighty, then.
Thanks!
I'd still like to see others.

Re: green stone bead, what is it?
it is a real amazonite, I am not so fond of the white stipes but it is really hard to find ones without the white stripings. Is it also very difficult to get them right on a photo.

It's always fun when an old post gets bumped up!
And I have this Amazonite out of the bead box now, cogitating on a new combo.
