Amazon River
Amazonite is named after the Amazon River that flows through Brazil. It was thought that amazonite had been found here for a long time. But mineralologists have determined that there are no green feldspar deposits in the Brazilian Amazon region. The stones found appear to be nephrite jade and not amazonite. The name has remained however. Amazonite is also found in Brazil but not near the Amazon River.
