Amazonite is a green variety of micro-line feldspar, and it's a nice semi-precious stone for jewelry. I recently saw a necklace I wanted to copy, but when I found some Peruvian amazonite beads, they were a little out of my price range. So I came up with faux amazonite using polymer clay. Here is a picture of my first batch of beads.
You can see that my beads are a little darker, and a little more turquoise in color. They were lighter before I baked them, but I like the deeper color. I also experimented with some rust colored inclusions, which I like.
Below are some photos of real Amazonite
