Amazonite is formed from a mixture of a number of elements such as potassium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen, which when bonded together this way, form a beautiful blue and green coloured crystal. Being a variety of potassium feldspar, amazonite is found in a type of igneous rock called granitic pegmatite. As with all igneous rocks, these are formed from volcanic activity when magma cools and crystallises either within or on the outside of the Earths crust. In this case, as magma cools the potassium mixture of minerals crystallise and form amazonite.
