Amazonite

Item Description

This is a good specimen from one of the most storied and well known districts in Colorado. The pegmatites near the Lake George area of Colorado have produced what most collectors and dealers consider to be the finest Amazonite specimens from the standpoint of superb color, top quality, wonderful display specimens and excellent associations. This particular specimen is a nice display piece featuring sharp, well-formed, blue-green color Amazonite crystals with minor Albite free of matrix. The piece is in good shape overall with only a minor contact on the lower crystal. Keep in mind that the best of these specimens (especially with top color) sell for big money these days, and considering that fewer and fewer top quality specimens are found each year, this one would make a great addition to any collection. A lovely Colorado "classic"!
