Item Description
This specimen is from the recent finds of Amazonite in Ethiopia. This showy specimen features a few beautiful, attractive, soft blue-green color, sharp, very well formed crystals on minor Microcline/Smoy Quartz matrix. These are easily some of the finest quality Amazonite specimens to hit the market in recent years. Aside from the specimens that are found around the Pike's Peak Batholith in Colorado, these are some of the most impressive Amazonite specimens around. This specimen is not at all pitted like many crystals from this area, and displays beautifully.
