Amazonite (great color)

Item Description

Simply put, the finest Amazonite crystals in the world are found in around the Pike's Peak Batholith. The area has continued to produce fine quality crystals for the better part of a century. Here we have a very sharp, lustrous, rich blue green color Amazonite crystal that is complete on all sides. The color is nearly as good as it gets for Amazonite, and the crystal itself is actually translucent around the edges! This specimen was collected by the late George Fisher, a very prominant field collector of Amazonite specimens in Colorado for years. Great color and quality for a species (Microcline) that is typically found in white to grey colored crystals!
