Amazonite
Amazonite is the blue-green variety of translucent to transparent microcline feldspar (an igneous rock). It gets its name from the Amazon River, where it was first discovered. There are 2 color varieties--the more common pastel aqua, the other, a deep blue/green. Description: KAlSi3O8 l. usually opaque and therefore is cut in cabochon. The Pikes Peak district of Colorado, U.S., became the most important source of amazonite after 1876. When samples were unveiled at the Centennial Exhibition, their impressive purity and size eventually forced competing Russian mineral dealers out of business. : 6 on the Moh's Hardness Scale
