Amazonite with Albite (ex Brian Kosnar Collections)

Item Description

This is a great 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 features a 2.3 cm sharp, well-formed, rich blue-green color Amazonite crystal aesthetically sitting atop a mound of bladed, white Albite (var: "Cleavelandite") "rosette". A minor amount of associated Quartz can be seen on the piece as well. 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,
