The Facts

•Amazonite is a green variety of microcline feldspar.


• The name is taken from that of the Amazon River, from which certain green stones were formerly obtained, but it is doubtful whether green feldspar occurs in the Amazon area.

• For many years, the source of amazonite's color was a mystery. Naturally, many people assumed the color was due to copper because copper compounds often have blue and green colors. More recent studies suggest that the blue-green color results from small quantities of lead and water in the feldspar

•It has a hardness of 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale.

•Amazonite is a mineral of limited occurrence. Formerly it was obtained almost exclusively from the area of Miass in the Ilmensky Mountains

•Amazonite is an inexpensive gemstone is most often used in beads and polished into cabochons and carvings.

This is high quality yet cheap affordable Amazonite.
