Fluorite on Quartz (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is a great 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 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 a few, sharp, gemmy purple color "tumbling dice" cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 1.4 cm on edge sitting on grey Quartz crystals on matrix. To find Fluorite crystals so well-balanced on a specimen is quite unusual for this area. This piece was one of the few specimens from this claim to have all of these species together on the same piece. Keep in mind that this specimen was collected over nearly 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".
