Microcline (fluorescent) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is a nice 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 is a blocky ash-white colored Microcline crystal with good form, but the most important aspect of the piece is that it shows an interesting pink fluorescence under SW UV light, which is not common for this material. This specimen was collected over 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". From the collection of Brian Kosnar, who kept it for the unusual fluorescence.
