Introduction
The chemical composition of Amazonite is KAlSi₃O₈, which is a blue-green variety of microcline feldspar, also known as "Amazon Stone."

Before the Middle Kingdom in ancient Egypt, people processed kyanite into beads, amulets, and inlay materials. In the New Kingdom period, bead strings and pectorals unearthed from tombs, with their blue-green colors symbolizing the life force and rebirth of the Nile, were seen as representing youth, rejuvenation, and divine order.
