Not sure where I got this rock and I have no idea what it is. It was in my latest tumble and I haven't been able to identify it… please help me out. Thanks!

Yup, that's what it's usually called in trade. However, you can also more properly distinguish amazonite from the prominently striped "perthite" (an intergrowth of amazonite and the whitish albite and/or oligoclase stripes), especially when those other minerals constitute a significant portion of the total rock.
