Amazonite<\/a> is a striking variety of feldspar known for its distinctive blue-green colour. The stone is named after the Amazon, although there are no known deposits in that area. The colour ranges from soft turquoise to deep greenish blue and is caused by the presence of lead and water in the crystal structure. Often amazonite has a slightly striped or mottled pattern, which contributes to its unique appearance.<\/p>\n Belangrijke vindplaatsen van amazoniet zijn onder andere Brazili\u00eb, Madagaskar, Rusland, China en de Verenigde Staten. De meest heldere en intens gekleurde exemplaren komen vaak uit Colorado en Madagaskar. Geologisch gezien ontstaat amazoniet in pegmatieten, grofkorrelige magmatische gesteenten die rijk zijn aan mineralen. De chemische formule van amazoniet is K(AlSi\u2083O\u2088), en het behoort tot de microklien-feldspaten. Met een hardheid van 6 tot 6,5 op de schaal van Mohs.<\/p>\n Sources: <\/strong>Mindat.org<\/a>, Gemdat.org<\/a>, Wikipedia \u2013 Amazonite<\/a><\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazoniet Amazoniet is een opvallende vari\u00ebteit van veldspaat die bekend staat om zijn kenmerkende blauwgroene kleur.
