PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: Chemistry: KAlSi3 O8 Composition: Potassium Aluminum Silicate Class: Silicates Subclass: Tectosilicates Group: Feldspars Crystal system: triclinic Fracture: conchoidal Hardness: 6 to 6.5 Specific gravity: 2.56-2.57 Refractive Index: 1.53 Pleochroism: Luster: vitreous Streak: white Cleavage: perfect in one and good in another Color: shades of green to blue-green Transparency: opaque to translucent, rarely transparent Associated Minerals: quartz, muscovite and plagioclase feldspars COMPOSITION: Potassium aluminum silicate (16.9% K2O, 18.4% Al2O3, 64.7% SiO2) DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS: Microcline is a common, but not a well known mineral and has been used as a semi-precious stone under the names of Amazonite and Perthite. Amazonite is a variety that is deep green and is suitable for carving and polishing. The perthite variety is stripped, the colored stripes are microcline and the white or clear stripes are a plagioclase feldspar. If there is more plagioclase than microcline it is called "antiperthite". Twinning is common in all feldspars At some localities fine amazonite clusters are intermixed with smoky quartz crystals and this results in an outstanding classic mineral specimen. ENVIRONMENT: In the earth's crust, feldspars may be more abundant than all other minerals combined. The majority of the common feldspars fall into two groups, the alkali feldspars (KAlSi3O8 through NaAlSi3O8 series), and the plagioclase feldspars (NaAlSi3O8 through CaAl2Si2O8 series). Amazonite (KAlSi3O8) is the rare green variety of microcline. Microcline is a common potasium feldspar, usually found in granite pegmatites or in plutonic rocks, where it takes the place of orthoclase. In rare cases, the green variety amazonite occurs. Its green color is thought to be due to trace impurities of lead and OH-1. Quartz and microcline can crystalize simultaneously in pegmatites in an interpenetrating pattern known as graphic granite. This pattern is very striking when present in the green variety amazonite. CRYSTAL DESCRIPTION: Microcline is the characteristic feldspar of granite pegmatites, and may grow into tremendous crystals, several feet on an edge. Crystals may be blocky, or tabular and have a nearly rectangular or square cross-section with slightly slanted dome and pinacoid terminations. Twinning is common. Crystals can be twinned according to the Albite, Pericline, Carlsbad, Manebach and Baveno laws. Baveno and manebach twins are rare. TESTS: The hardness and the cleavage are usually sufficient for identification, when considered in relation to the associated minerals. Distinguishing characteristics: Microcline is the only bright green feldspar. If of another hue it is distinguished from orthoclase by the pegmatitic occurrence. (Pegmatite orthoclase is almost unknown.) Distinguished from the markedly triclinic plagioclases by the lack of twin striations on the prominent cleavage face. LOCALITIES: The best green crystals have come from scattered pegmatitic pockets in schist near Crystal Peak and at Pikes Peak, Colorado, associated with smoky quartz. Good green crystals were found at Amelia, Virginia, in Brazil, India, Russia, and Madagascar. Ordinary microcline is found in almost every pegmatite. USES: Microcline feldspars are used in the manufacture of glass, enamel and porcelain products. the Amazonite veriety makes a very nice ornamental stone and mineral specimens especially those with quartz are very popular. FACTS & HISTORY: Amazonite was named for the Amazon river. Although it does occur in Brazil, amazonite has not been found in the vicinity of this great river. The name microcline comes from two Greek words meaning little and inclined, referring to the cleavage angle's slight inclination from ninety degrees. Feldspar is derived from the German word feld which means field. The astrological sign of amazonite is virgo. Amazonite is the birthstone for the month of December.

LINK for herbalist PLANT PHYTOCHEMISTRY Description: This is the stately sunflower of our yards; a native of South America, but much cultivated for the bold look of its enormous flower-heads. Its stem, on rich soils, will reach a height of twelve and even fifteen feet; and its flowers, with their brilliant yellow ray florets, tubular disk florets, and numerous angled achenia surrounded by scaly chaff, are exaggerated types of the Natural Order Compositae. Properties and Uses: The seeds of the sunflower contain a considerable quantity of fixed oil, which may be obtained by cold pressure. It is bland, does not oxidize (dry) as does linseed oil, is quite nutrient, and probably could be put to good use in some arts. They also contain some mucilage; and the seed-vessels contain mucilage and a mild bitter principle. A decoction of the bruised acheniae, (seeds and husks,) made by boiling an ounce in a quart of water to a pint, acts quite efficiently upon the kidneys�promoting the flow of urine, and soothing inflamed and irritable conditions both of the kidneys and bladder. They are suited for acute cases, and deserve more attention than they have received. It also acts well on irritable coughs. Used warm, this decoction gently promotes the action of the oil-glands upon the surface, perhaps more efficiently than is done by the seeds of the burdock; and this fact renders it useful in scarlet fever. A strong sirup may be used to advantage (in company with hepatic alterants) in such chaffy affections of the skin as tetter and lepra. It is asserted that when a house is surrounded by many sunflowers, its inmates suffer no intermittents, even in the worst ague districts. Without pretending to know any reason for this, I name it as an observation that has been made repeatedly by men of science and the most reliable travelers, including Humboldt, Bonpland, Rev. J. Fletcher, and Prof. Maury.

The gravitational field of one or more foreground galaxies has bent and magnified the light from the quasar to produce the multiple images. The foreground galaxies are too faint to be seen in these images.<1font>
