Return to Stone Spheres
Here’s an amazing graphic amazonite sphere. Amazonite is a variety of feldspar, microcline, with greenish bluish color. Feldspar is one of the most common minerals on earth. It is a rock forming mineral and a well known rock that consists of high amounts of feldspar is granite.
The color of the amazonite is due to trace impurity content of lead, copper, or iron (not known exactly which one). Regardless of the impurity mineral, the toxicity risk in amazonite is very low. However, it is good to be aware of the possible presence of lead.
The name graphic feldspar comes from the presence of quartz (in this case white and smoky) that alternate with feldspar to form these beautiful patterns.
Dale made the sphere and he did a super job. The sphere is very chatoyant and has a great polish (it shines like glass).
The sphere is great for a sphere collection and outstanding for decor.
The approximate weight of this amazonite sphere is 2.2 lbs and it has about 3.7″ diameter (94.4 mm).
Origin: The rough stone came from Madagascar. See more photos of this sphere below.
