Item Description
Amazonite specimens from the recent finds at the Kenticha Mine rarely have the fine sculptural quality and color variations, that this fine piece exhibits. One crystal has the sharp terminated form of classic microcline crystals, while the larger, blocky crystal has striking serrated edges. The color variations of the blue-green amazonite against the creamy pastel-pink are very noteworthy. Complete all-around, with only modest bruising on two back edges. This aesthetic piece has multiple display views. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $350, five or more years ago.
