What is Amazonite?
Amazonite is a blue-green variety of microcline feldspar. The colour comes from traces of lead and water in the crystal, often streaked with white albite.
Fine crystal groups come from Colorado, while Brazil, Madagascar and Russia supply material for beads, carvings and tumbled stones.
