Externally, this mineral resembles sea water. Its name is also associated with the greatest river in the world. It is inexpensive, but the unusual pattern makes each pebble unique. It is natural that the Amazonite stone does not suffer from people’s inattention. Sorcerers and witches use it as an energetic component of risky rituals, and ordinary citizens use it as a beautiful artifact or decoration.
What is this stone? Origin story
According to one version, in the 18th century, several bluish-green pebbles were found in the Amazon River basin. Because of the name of the river, the mineral was called Amazonian stone. But he was not found in those places again...
There is another explanation for the name of the mineral: militant Amazon women wore jewelry made of beautiful green stones. And their leader Hippolyta had a belt decorated with them. Primitive jewelry with such gems was found in large quantities in the territory inhabited by the Amazons.
When going on a hike, along with their ammunition, they took with them green stones, which, according to legend, added strength and confidence to their owner.
Warrior maidens also found another purpose for the stone: there are suggestions that young Amazons rubbed amazonite powder into one breast to delay its growth.
Amazonite was known in ancient times: its mines were in ancient Egypt and Ethiopia. Jewelry made from it was discovered during many archaeological excavations, in particular among the jewelry in the burial of Tutankhamun. But what such a stone was called back then remains a mystery.
Officially in Russia, the discovery of the Amazonian stone in 1783 in the Southern Urals is attributed to engineer N.F. German. Mineralogist A. Breithaupt in 1847 proposed shortening the name of the mineral to “amazonite.”
It is also known that jewelers called it “emerald edelspar.” There are also other names: Amazonian jade, green moonstone, Amazonite moonstone, Colorado jade.
Field
Amazonite is no longer mined in the Southern Urals. Some veins have already been mined, while others are located on the territory of the Ilmensky State Reserve and the extraction of minerals in its depths is prohibited by law.
In the Russian Federation, Amazonite is most mined in quarries on the Kola Peninsula. There are also deposits in the Baikal region, Transbaikalia, and the Eastern Sayan Mountains.
Gems differ in color. For example, Amazonites from the Kola Peninsula are rich green, there is no blue in them. And the Baikal ones, on the contrary, are pale green with a blue tint.
There are quite a lot of Amazonite deposits in the world; it is mined in Mongolia, Finland, Norway, Canada, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Brazil, India, Ethiopia, the USA and other countries.
History and origin
The origin of Amazonite is directly related to the legends and stories about women warriors - the Amazons. According to legends, the mineral adorned the weapons and robes of entire Amazon tribes. The stone was first discovered during the study of Scythian mounds, where, according to legend, the Amazons lived. There is also a version about the origin of the mineral in South America, where it was found in the 18th century.
Another version of the discovery of the mineral can be considered its location in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. This suggests that Amazonite could have appeared on the territory of Ancient Egypt.
The official ancient name of Amazonite, oddly enough, is not known to anyone. No references or texts about the unusual stone have been preserved anywhere.
Physical properties of the stone
Amazonite is a type of potassium feldspar. The mineral is formed as a result of pneumatolytic and hydrothermal processes. It is found in granite pegmatites (small grains or large formations 1.5-2 m or more) and in amazonite granites (represented by small grains). Its formula is (K,Nа)AlSi3O8. Hardness 6 – 6.5.
The mineral is considered a semi-precious ornamental stone of the first order (according to the classification of A. Fersman and M. Bauer). At temperatures of 300°C - 500°C it becomes discolored.
The color can be returned only when exposed to X-rays or radioactive rays, and only if the mineral was not heated to a temperature of 600°C.
Amazonite deposits
Amazonite Kola Peninsula
Amazonite is characteristic of some rare earth and rare metal alkali granite pegmatites and amazonite granites. The largest pegmatite fields and deposits are: West-Keyvskoye (Kola Peninsula), Ilmenogorskoye (Southern Urals), Ulan-Nurskoye (Baikal region); pegmatite occurrences: Naryn-Kunta, Abchad, Ainsk, Samsalskoe, Zashikhinskoe, Bayan-Kola, Slyudyanskoe, Poperechinskoe, Turakinskoe, Usmunskoe (East Siberia), Barkrakskoe, Darantutskoe, Rauid-Darinskoe, Turpinskoe, Yarzyvskoe, Rangkulskoe, Mazarskoe (Central Asia ), Amelia, Rutherford, Morefield (Virginia), Pikes Peak, Crystal Peak, Florissant, Cameron Cone (Colorado), Rockport (Massachusetts, USA), Woodcock, Renfrew, Peri-Saud (Ontario Province), Bouchette Hull, Villeneuve, Leduc (Quebec Province, Canada), Ambohitravorano, Sakhavorona, Ampangabe, Andina, Andriamena, Mahabu, Soarano, Andibakeli, Maharitra, Sahafurana (Madagascar), San Migul de Piracicaba, Jaohuma, Ferros, Itabira, Coxeimao (Brazil); deposits and manifestations of amazonite in granites: Khoroiskoye, Sayvonskoye, Bitu-Dzhidinskoye, Oymurskoye, Bezymyanskoye, Kutimskoye, Nerugandinskoye, Kharagulskoye, Shagaite-Golskoye, Khukhu-Chelotuiskoye, Khangilai-Shilinskoye, Gornachikhinskoye (Voet.

The most famous is the pegmatite deposit in the West. Keivakh (Ploskaya Mountain), Kola Peninsula. Pegmatite veins from tens to hundreds of meters long, several meters thick (in bulges up to 15-20 m) are localized in unaltered biotite and garnet-biotite gneisses in the exocontact of the intrusion of alkaline arfvedsonite-aegirine granites (1-3 km from the contact). From the periphery to the center, quartz-albite-oligoclase and quartz-oligoclase pegmatite of granite structure is replaced by quartz-microcline graphic and microcline (amazonite) pegmatite of pegmatoid and block structures with a quartz core in the center. Pegmatite is albitized and silicified with Ta, Nb, rare earth, Bi- and Sn-mineralization (columbite-tantalite, Pb-pyrochlore microlite, fergusonite, gadolinite, cassiterite, fluorite, galena, native bismuth, etc.). Microcline usually predominates over amazonite, but individual veins are composed entirely of amazonite. It is usually green at the bottom and blue at the top. Amazonitization is also superimposed on the host gneisses. In the Ilmen Mountains (Ilmensky Nature Reserve), Chelyabinsk region, South. Ural, there are 65 mines with amazonite. According to legend, from here, near the village. Lipova, crystals weighing more than a pound were mined. Amazonite pegmatites can be traced in amphibolites and granite-gneisses 1-3 km from the miaskite massif. The most common are thin (0.5 m), extended (up to 150-200 m) bodies with swellings (up to 4-5 m), folded by a graphic aggregate without amazonite, turning towards the center into block pegmatite with amazonite without quartz ichthyoglypts. The main minerals: microcline, albite, biotite, muscovite, garnet, magnetite, topaz, as well as Pb minerals - galena, cosalite, Pb-pyrochlore, Be minerals - beryl, phenacite, helvin, gentgelvin, Bi minerals - bismuthin, cosalite, bismuthite, clinobiswanite, lillianite, bismite, Sn minerals - cassiterite, ixiolite, Ta minerals - tantalite, microlite, as well as aluminum fluorides - cryolite, weberite. Amazonite color is mainly pale green, distributed in patches in the yellow microcline, most intense in the upper and middle parts of the veins (for example, Blyumovskaya mine), but cutting zones of late bluish-green amazonite are observed.
The classic deposit is the Pikes Peak batholith. Colorado, USA, from which blue, bluish-green and deep green amazonite has been extracted for 130 years. Very rarely, polychrome amazonite crystals with a “white head” (orthoclase growing on amazonite) were also found here. Pegmatite veins 50 m long and several meters thick, cutting granites, are developed in several areas: Crystal Peak, Wigwam Creek, Harris Park, Lake. Georg, etc. From bottom to top, aplite transforms into block pegmatite, in which bulges are observed, 70-80% composed of white, yellowish-brown, brown or red ordinary microcline and 20-30% - amazonite with smoky, amethyst, citrine or colorless quartz, clevelandite, biotite, adularoid sanidine (growing on microcline), topaz, beryl, apatite, zircon, phenakite, barylite, monazite, xenotime and a number of rare minerals.

Varieties of Amazonite
Amazonite owes its bluish-green hue to water and the dominance of lead impurities in its composition. This is the main range. There are specimens mixed with yellow, turquoise, darkish, simply white or gray. Agglomerates with a brownish tint are considered rare.
Mineralogists distinguish two varieties of amazonite:
- Fine perthite. The pattern against a bluish-green background is not particularly pronounced; sometimes a slight silveriness is noticeable.
- Large perthite. The pattern of whitish lines is clear, contrasting well with the turquoise blue background. In thin chips it shines through, sometimes pearlescent reflections are observed.
The mineral that forms a white or slightly pinkish pattern on the surface is albite. These shoots are elongated, cord-like, with dimensions of 2–29 mm in length and 1–3 mm in width.
How to distinguish from a fake?
The following recommendations will help you choose a real mineral:
- Pay attention to the coloring. Natural stone will never be uniform; small inclusions and veins made by nature itself are always present. Only fake plastics are painted evenly.
- The gem is completely opaque. Hold it up to the light; the natural mineral should not be visible.
- Take Amazonite in your hand and try to warm it in your palm. Real stone stays cold.
Origin
The origin of Amazonite is igneous. It is formed in pegmatite veins and granites.

This description of the stone gives rise to misunderstandings: Amazonite is often confused with jade and turquoise . They really have a similar texture, density, and color. These are more expensive gems, but they look harmonious in jewelry with the “stone of the Amazons.”
