Goethite with Fluorite on Microcline (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is a great 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 great display piece featuring sharp, lustrous, golden-black "needles" of Goethite with an assocaited cubic lilac color Fluorite crystal sitting on pink Microcline matrix. The association of Goethite with Fluorite is not very common from this area, and to find them on MATRIX, is certainly rare. The piece is complete all the way around and displays very well from several angles. Keep in mind that this specimen was collected nearly 30 years ago (August of 1980), when Richard Kosnar found some of the best of these specimens. Don't miss out on this great Colorado "classic".
