Description

A nicely-coloured amazonite crystal with some darker greenish blue hues. The crystal is sharp, and it’s developed all-around (except the underside where it was attached to the rock) – almost all of the irregular faces on the backside are fully crystallized. Great termination. In excellent condition, no damage other a little chipping on the backside and one tiny one on the back edge (on the right-hand side). This very fine amazonite crystal was collected from the Smoky Sage Pocket.
