Item Description

A lovely small miniature 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 is a wonderful display piece featuring sharp, lustrous, reddish-black / golden, metallic bladed "sprays" of Goethite. The piece has fantastic aesthetics, and displays very well from BOTH sides. Keep in mind that this specimen was collected over 30 years ago (July of 1980), when Richard Kosnar found some of the finest color Amazonite from Colorado extant. Don't miss out on this great Colorado "classic".
