Description:This is a good representative crystal 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 nice display piece featuring a few sharp, lustrous, well-formed, rich blue-green color Amazonite crystals with a selective depostion of a white Feldspar species creating the "striped" green and white effect. Keep in mind that the best of these specimens (especially with top color) sell for big money these days, and considering that fewer and fewer top quality specimens are found each year, this one would make a great addition to any collection. A Colorado "classic".
