Microcline (var: Amazonite) Richard Kosnar and aesthetic to be sureAn attractive thumbnail specimen of Amazonite highlighted by a few sharp, prismatic, beautiful blue green colored crystals sitting atop a thin layer of Smoky Quartz and white Feldspar matrix. The terminations of the Amazonite crystals are pristine, but the lower portion of the piece is contacted where it separated from the pocket wall. The piece actually sits on its own without the aid of base or clay. Specimen # AMAZWH111923
