This is because it is seen that copper usually turns a greenish hue as it ages and the many things that contain copper are green in color. But, recently it has been discovered that copper is not to be blamed for the green color that the gem holds. The actual culprit that brings forth the green color in amazonite is the presence of lead in the stone.
