Amazonite (also called "Amazon stone") is a mineral, a green variety.
The name derives from the Amazon River, where green stones were found specifically in the Peruvian jungle, but it is unlikely that there may be green feldspar deposits in the Amazon plain. It is more likely that its presence in the river bed is due to river transport from the mountainous deposits of origin.
Thanks to its bright green color, when worked, amazonite is sometimes used as a gem, although it is very brittle and easily fractured.
