Here's a pair of handmade earrings with amazonite nuggets accented with turquoise and Herkimer diamond (quartz). I love the color of amazonite but really, really love these nuggets. They are a naturally occurring mixture of amazonite with smoky quartz inclusions. The smoky quartz contrasts with the mint green of the amazonite, and the clarity of the quartz adds depth. Paired with genuine Arizona turquoise in a seafoam green hue, crystal clear Herkimer diamond quartz, and darkened copper wire, I think they depict the color of northern waters with glacial flour in them or the sea at the edge of glacial ice. Of course, you might see a tropical beach with sparkling waves glinting in the sun.
I chose roughly 12 x 12mm freeform polished nuggets of smoky quartz/amazonite stone. ~6mm thin turquoise heishi, and 3 x 6mm Herkimer quartz crystals. They are wired in copper and hang from my handcrafted copper ear hooks.
