Item Description

Sculptural, offset pair of well-formed, rich green-blue, blocky amazonite crystals from a less well-known Minas Gerais pegmatite. The classic, lustrous, sloped termination face of the large crystal adds character. It is not from Colorado or Ethiopia, as you might think at first sight. Embedded albite crystal sections at the top and glassy, smoky quartz sections at the bottom are nice complements, contrasts and accessories. Amazonite is actually fairly rare from the innumerable pegmatites of Brazil. Valued by the former dealer at $750. A showy and excellent large combination example from the locale.
