Some specimens will tempt you to think it's turquoise but it has a bit more of a sense of crystallization than turquoise does. Turquoise is far more opaque. It can often be less expensive than turquoise, also. Many specimens can just be heart-stoppingly beautiful.

I've slobbered over photos of amazonite for decades! But then, I've always been a "rock hound," and you'd have an easier time listing the rocks and minerals I HAVEN'T slobbered over than trying to list all the ones that have knocked me out! When I was seven years old, I started making little display boxes with the specimens I had collected, studied, and labeled. I'd look them up as best I could cuz Mom always made sure I had plenty of rocks 'n' minerals books. When I couldn't find or figure out what it was, I'd make something up - like this roundish, slightly flat, greenish little piece that was so glittery that it probably had a lot of mica in it, and I named it "Glitter Soap"!
