Additional Information:

Named for the Amazon River, this mineral has never been found there— the closest sources: regions in Brazil and Peru, yet not found even within the Amazon Rainforest
A potassium feldspar (microcline), its color originally believed to be caused by copper, more recently has been found to be the result of trace amounts of lead, rubidium, thallium, divalent iron, and water
Due to its trace lead content, do not use for gem elixirs or ingest in any form! Although not typically absorbable through skin, mildly acidic water or solutions can dissolve the lead and prove toxic if taken internally over time
As early as 5200 BCE, cultures in Northern Africa including Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley had been cutting this stone for use in beads and other carvings
Found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, including as a scarab ring, as well as inlaid in his famed funerary mask
