Item Description

A nice 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 most collectors and dealers consider to be the finest Amazonite specimens from the standpoint of superb color, top quality, wonderful display specimens and excellent associations. This particular specimen, has no Amazonite, but it does feature gemmy cubes of Fluorite with a beautiful smoky purple color on pink Microcline matrix. The largest Fluorite measures 6 mm. Keep in mind that this specimen was collected 35 years ago (September of 1980) when Richard Kosnar found some of the finest color Amazonite from Colorado extant. Don't miss out on this great Colorado "classic".
