============================================================
1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
Amazonite (also known as "Amazon stone") is the blue-green variety of microcline, a
triclinic potassium feldspar formed in pegmatite deposits. It has a Mohs hardness of
6-6.5, shows characteristic grid twinning and well-developed cleavage, and ranges in
color from deep blue and blue-green to mint green and Tiffany blue.
Major deposits worldwide:
Brazil (the Amazon region is a key producing area and gave the stone its name, noted
for high-quality rough), Russia (the Ilmen Mountains in the Urals, historically the
most celebrated producing area for vivid blue-green material), the United States
(Pikes Peak in Colorado, Virginia, Pennsylvania), Madagascar, India, Mozambique,
Tanzania, Peru, Canada, Ethiopia, Namibia, Kenya, Afghanistan, Australia, Sweden,
Norway, Poland, South Africa, Finland and Austria.
Deposits in China:
Xinjiang (Guobaoshan and Baishitouquan near Xingxingxia, where microcline accounts
for roughly 84%-91%), Jiangsu, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shanxi,
Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi.
2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Name origin:
The English name "Amazonite" comes from "Amazon stone," inspired by the naming legend
of the Amazon River in South America. People once assumed the stone came from the
Amazon region, yet in fact it is found in many parts of the world and not in the
Amazon rainforest itself.
Ancient Egypt:
As early as around the 10th century BC, the ancient Egyptians crafted jewelry and
ornaments from amazonite and carved important texts onto it (including objects
associated with the Book of the Dead), regarding it as a sacred stone.
Myth and legend:
Amazonite is often associated with the "Amazon warriors" of ancient Greek mythology.
Legend holds that these female warriors wore green stones (amazonite) for strength
and protection, giving the stone its symbolism of courage, guardianship and
independence.
Native American tribes:
Several Native American tribes used amazonite in healing and protective rituals, and
shamans regarded it as a medium connecting to the spirits of nature, used to attract
positive energy and dispel negativity.
Scientific record:
Amazonite was first recorded in scientific literature in 1847. For centuries before
that, various green stones were loosely called "Amazon stone" until mineralogy
clarified its true identity as a variety of microcline.
3. USAGE

Jewelry:
Its most classic use is in necklaces and pendants worn at the throat, resting against
the throat chakra. It is also widely used in bracelets, rings, earrings and other
