Description:This is a superb 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 wonderful, sharp, lustrous, golden-black "blades" of Goethite forming a beautiful crystallized "spray" The quality is as good as it gets for Goethite from the area, and the piece is crystallized all the way around. Crystallized specimens like this are few and far between from Colorado. Valued at $600-$700.
