Amazonite (rare locality)

Item Description

When it comes to Amazonite from the United States, most people associate the material with Colorado, but there are some good quality specimens from the Zapot Pegmatite in Nevada that are rarely offered on the marekt. This locality is obviously best known for its attractive Topaz crystals, which are some of the best from the United States, but Amazonites are sought out by collectors. This piece features a couple sharp, well-formed, rather lustrous, rich blue-green Amazonite crystals free of matrix with tan clay / feldspar inclusions to create a nice two-tone effect. The back of the piece is contacted, but it's still a fine quality display specimen of these hard to find Amazonites. A great example of NON-Colorado Amazonite from this famous locality near Hawthorne.
