Amazonite (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is a classic display 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 collectors and dealers know to be the finest Amazonite specimens from the standpoint of color, quality, wonderful display specimens and excellent associations. This particular specimen features sharp well-formed, incredibly rich blue-green color Amazonite crystals. 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. The piece is from the famous Colorado collection of Richard Kosnar. It was collected nearly 40 years ago, when Richard Kosnar first came to Colorado. The handwritten tag on the bottom of the piece states that Rich obtained this piece from his old friend and collecting partner, Clarence Coil. Don't miss out on this great Colorado "classic". Valued at $900 for the color and pedigree of the piece.
