Amazonite is a member of Feldspar, the same as labradorite and moonstone. Some have a visual effect of shimmering and shimmering near the surface of the stone when the stone is moved with light. The name Amazonite comes from the fact that the blue-green and white patterns are reminiscent of the Amazon River. It has been called the "stone of hope" since ancient times, and was used as a gemstone in ancient Egypt. Because it contains lead, it can be either blue and white striped or solid blue-green.
