What is Amazonite?
Amazonite is a potassium feldspar variety (microcline) known for its distinctive blue-green colour, caused by trace lead and water within the crystal structure. It often forms with natural white streaks, giving it a unique grid or marbling effect. Historically, it has been used as a talisman of truth, harmony and courage.
