Alabaster Cabochons

• See Gemstone Pendants

The name Alabaster is given to two distinct types of minerals: gypsum and calcite. In ancient times the term alabaster was applied to calcite. Today, the term refers to a fine grained variety of gypsum.  Gypsum is harder than calcite and does not scratch as easily.

Amazonite Cabochons

Amazonite is a microcline form of feldspar and although the name is taken from that of the Amazon River, it is highly unlikely that it was ever found there.  In the past it's only source was a mountainous area in Russia. More recently, high-quality crystals have been obtained from Colorado, where it is found in conjunction with quartz, orthoclase, and albite in granite. Some other localities in the United States yield amazonite, and it is also found in Madagascar.
