Amazonite is an opaque to translucent greenish-blue mineral, first discovered near the Amazon River in 1850. It has a Mohs hardness of 6 and a specific gravity of 2.57. Due to its relative brittleness, it is typically cut en cabochon rather than faceted. Major sources today include the Urals (Russia), Colorado and Virginia (USA), as well as Australia and South Africa.
