Amazonite (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is a classic 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 collectors and dealers know to be the finest Amazonite specimens from the standpoint of color, quality, wonderful display specimens and excellent associations. This piece features sharp lustrous, well-formed, RICH blue-green color, prismatic Amazonite crystals. 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. Keep in mind that this specimen was collected nearly 30 years ago (July 1980), when Richard Kosnar found some of the finest color Amazonite from Colorado extant. This piece is completely unrepaired which makes a difference when it comes to Colorad Amazonites, as many of them have several (if not several dozen) repairs and restorations. This one is completely natural and has no work done on it whatsoever. Don't miss out on this great Colorado classic.
