Amazonite belongs to the 'Feldspar' group of minerals, this group is one of the most lavish types of mineral in the world but only a select few can be classed as gemstone quality. This gemstones appearence ranges from a soft milky green to turquoise, some have different patterns on them (e.g. a spider web pattern) and some are plain. It gets its colour from tiny quantities of lead and water. 

This gemstone is popular in jewellery making due to it being rather inexpensive. It is often cuut into cabachones as it is a very soft stone, however, this does mean that the stone can break very easily so it needs to be handled with care at all times!!

It is mostly found in Brazil but can also be found in Australia, Russia, Madagascar and the United States of America. Amazonite is known as the 'Stone of Courage', promoting good physical and mental health, it is believed to heal trauma and illness, in particular, the nervous system, throat and thyroid gland.
