Amazonite is a stone that has enchanted people for centuries with its green and turquoise shades — a symbol of elegance and harmony. Its geological history is rooted in extremely long natural processes: it is a rare variety of microcline feldspar formed millions of years ago through the slow cooling of mineral-rich granitic magma. This process has created crystals with a unique shine, enriched by white and grey veining that enhances their chromatic depth.
The main deposits of Amazonite are in Brazil, in regions where nature has preserved this mineral treasure over centuries. Marmi Orobici Graniti carefully selects the finest slabs, bringing them to Italy to be transformed into projects of extraordinary beauty
From an aesthetic point of view, Amazonite stands out for its green tones, often compared to the colours of rainforests or the crystal-clear waters of the Amazon. It is a natural stone used for both interior cladding and exclusive furniture elements such as tables, counter-tops and design accessories. Its resistance makes it ideal for flooring and large surfaces with a high visual impact.
Architects and designers use it in luxury projects and contemporary environments, enhancing its dramatic look with polished or honed finishes. Renowned professionals like Zaha Hadid and Jean Nouvel have chosen Amazonite, appreciating its expressive power in iconic works and avant-garde installations.
Amazonite was considered a sacred stone by the ancient Egyptians, who used it for amulets and to decorate royal tombs — including that of Tutankhamun.
Today, thanks to Marmi Orobici Graniti, this ancient gem continues to tell stories of prestige, elegance, and nature.
