Amazonite has Mohs hardness properties of 6-6.5 with a triclinic crystal structure. This stone, also called Microcline, is a form of alkali feldspar and its color is due to the presence of lead. Although the main color of the stone is aqua green, it can also be partially colorless, white, yellow, pink, red, gray, or green. Its striking color is due to the presence of lead, and it is that mineral that determines the depth of the color. It was believed to have origins from the Amazon River from which it acquired its name, but in reality, there are no deposits in this area. Instead, it can be found in the Kashmir district, where the most important sources of the mineral are located, and in other locations in India. Amazonite is also found in some of the pegmatites of Madagascar, in the Sahara, in Tanzania, and in Southern Africa. It was used since the times of the Egyptians, as findings of ancient artifacts testify to its use by this civilization. According to mythology, the Indios of the Rio Negro attributed to this stone the property of making women desirable due to its resemblance to Nephrite.
