13. Yes, beautiful. There is some amazonite to be found here in Colorado

... so I see it used pretty often by local jewelry makers. (I bought a pendant neckless once thinking it was turquoise, but my wife identified it.) Sometimes it's a mix of amazonite and smoky quartz -- I think that's only found in Colorado -- and a good specimen of that can be pricey.

(That's a true story, by the way, about needing to get a recycle bin for all the boxes after my wife got addicted to online shopping during the pandemic. One good thing: I no longer do the grocery shopping, which I hated. )
