Also known as amazonit, amazonstone, amazonita
Amazonite, also known as amazonstone, is a green tectosilicate mineral, a variety of the potassium feldspar called microcline. Its chemical formula is KAlSi3O8, which is polymorphic to orthoclase.

天河石(Amazonyte),又名亞馬遜石,是寶石中長石類礦物的一種,是一種微斜長石變種、偉晶岩礦物。往往集中於晶體週邊或成細脈體,具,解理發育。飾品中可出現綠、白色格子狀痕跡。含稀有金屬銣、銫的微斜長石變種;屬於鉀微斜長石系列,但部分鉀常被微量的銣(Rb2O有時可達1.4%)和銫(Cs2O有時可達0.2%)所替代,此外還常含有鈉及極微量的鉛、鉈、鐵等元素。天河石與其他長石礦物的最大差異是它有較鮮豔的顏色。呈綠色、藍綠色、藍色等色澤。其呈色的原因還不是很清楚,部分認為來自銣,也有認為來自鐵或鉛,近年則傾向於認為是銣、銫、鉛、鉈、鐵等元素混入晶格後,使原晶格能發生變化,產生了顏色效應的結果。 天河石屬三斜晶系,晶體呈柱狀,但更常見其他形狀的大塊晶塊。整體呈玻璃光澤,微透明或不透明。相對密度2.54~2.63。硬度6~6.5。具微斜長石型的二組解理。在長波紫外下有弱黃綠色螢光;在x射線下有弱的綠色螢光。
