Item Description

This is a great 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 great display piece featuring sharp, lustrous, highly aesthetic, golden-black "blades" of Goethite forming a beautiful crystallized "spray" Keep in mind that this specimen was collected nearly 40 years ago (October of 1972) when Richard Kosnar found some of the finest color Amazonite from Colorado extant. Don't miss out on this great Colorado "classic".
