Amazonite is a microcline, that is, an alkaline feldspar, recognizable by its perfect cleavage. It can be of magmatic origin (hydrothermal formation process or in pegmatites), secondary (sedimentary), or metamorphic (crystalline schists).

The blue-green color, which takes on a pearlescent luster under magnification, is due to the presence of lead and resembles river water.

Therefore, it owes its name to the Amazon River, where it was believed to originate: in reality, no deposits are known in the Amazon basin, while it is certainly extracted in some areas of the Ural Mountains in Russia and in Colorado in the United States. It often shows reddish-brown iron infiltrations.
