Recently I've seen some simply amazing Amazonite coming from Mozambique. Some of It truly looks like it could be paraiba like. Immediately, I imagine that possibly it could be used as adjunct pieces to 'go with' expensive paraiba jewelry. Some of it is icy clear, as opposed to the Peruvian and Russian varieties. I find it hard to believe that it's natural, but it's claimed that it is and I don't think there are treatments for Amazonite. I'm curious if anyone had purchased any of this material, if it truly looks this way in life, if any treatments are known, and what causes this electric blue. Is it also copper as in tourmaline? As a lover of feldspars, this has piqued my interest lately.
