Amazonite<\/a> is a striking variety of feldspar known for its distinctive blue-green colour. The stone is named after the Amazon, although there are no known deposits in that area. The colour ranges from soft turquoise to deep greenish blue and is caused by the presence of lead and water in the crystal structure. Often amazonite has a slightly striped or mottled pattern, which contributes to its unique appearance.<\/p>\n Major deposits of amazonite include Brazil, Madagascar, Russia and the United States. The brightest and most intensely coloured specimens often come from Colorado and Madagascar. Geologically, amazonite forms in pegmatites, coarse-grained magmatic rocks rich in minerals. The chemical formula of amazonite is K(AlSi\u2083O\u2088), and it belongs to the microcline feldspars. With a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.<\/p>\n Sources: <\/strong>Mindat.org<\/a>, Gemdat.org<\/a>, Wikipedia - Amazonite<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n \n These faceted, ball or beaded bracelets are strung on a sturdy, double elastic, making them suitable for different wrist sizes. Our bracelets range in bead diameter from 4 mm to 10 mm, with the wrist circumference varying slightly by size. The smaller sizes have a wrist circumference of about \u00b1 160 mm, increasing to \u00b1 180 mm for the larger ones. For children's bracelets, the wrist circumference is the smallest in our range, which is \u00b1 12 to 13 cm.\n<\/p>\n \n We also offer split bracelets, where the split used ranges from 5 to 10 mm. These bracelets are also strung on sturdy, double elastic, with a circumference of approximately 16 cm to a maximum of 18 cm. Please note that there may sometimes be a different type between the pieces of split used. Our split bracelets are sold per 10 pieces in most cases, but there are exceptions.\n<\/p>\n \n Please note that we do not always have every size of every variety in our range.<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazonite Children's Bracelet in 4 mm<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":55980,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"soort":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2483],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-56064","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-kinderarmbanden","7":"pa_herkomst-china","8":"pa_maat-4-mm","9":"pa_soort-amazoniet","10":"pa_verkoopeenheid-per-stuk","11":"pa_vorm-armband","12":"pa_vorm-kinderarmband","13":"desktop-align-center","14":"tablet-align-center","15":"mobile-align-center","16":"ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal-slider","17":"ast-product-tabs-layout-horizontal","19":"first","20":"instock","21":"taxable","22":"shipping-taxable","23":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/56064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"soort","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/soort?post=56064"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=56064"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=56064"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ruschmineralen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=56064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
