About AmazoniteHide

Formula:
K(AlSi3O8)
Name:
Named in 1847 by Johann Friedrich August Breithaupt for an unspecified type locality area "near" the Amazon River.
A green to blue-green variety of K-feldspar, usually microcline, but sometimes applied to orthoclase.

The color is usually caused by an elevated content of Pb (up to 1.2% PbO, Arnaudov et al., 1967; up to 3.8 mol% PbAl2Si2O8 in green amazonite from Broken Hill according to Murakami et al. 2000).
However, there are also indications that the green color of some microcline is caused by divalent Fe (Szuszkiewicz & Körber, 2010). Overenthusiastic uses of this name include giving this name to slightly gray-green hues in microcline that are often photosensitive and turn from greenish gray to light smoky gray. Sunlight can sometimes enrich the color of genuine amazonite.
