Item Description
The recent finds of Amazonite in Ethiopia have rivaled those from Colorado. This is a showy specimen of Amazonite (possibly a Carlsbad twin) on Albite with minor Smoky Quartz. The Amazonites have classic turquoise-blue color, good blocky form, and surprisingly fine luster! Virtually no damage to speak of, and truly impressive on a worldwide scale for Amazonite. Ex Wouter Van Tichelen specimen.
