green stone bead, what is it? Empty green stone bead, what is it?

Post by LindaJo Thu Jan 03, 2013 3:16 pm

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.

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.

Very Happy 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.
