Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of microcline var. amazonite from Colorado!!! This specimen consists of a complex single crystal of amazonite!!!
The crystal has sharp, lustrous faces with intense blue color and marked translucence!!! The crystal is in terrific condition and exhibits
a somewhat unusual habit!!! One of the faces shows a complex network of stepped faces that are quite gemmy!!!
This specimen retains an old, affixed label from the collection of Albert H. Chester (1843-1903)!!! A very handsome old timer indeed!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person
to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY OCTOBER 6th!!!
