Amazonite
Amazonite is also known as the Amazon stone after South America's Amazon River, which flows through Brazil. The formation of Amazonite has been a mystery for years, but recent studies are suggesting that its color results from lead and water in the feldspar. This stone is usually a blue-green color, but can also be purple, grey or even multicolored.
