Colorado amazonite and smoky quartz combos are some of the world’s most iconic mineral specimens. This fine example from the Rocket Claim features dark black smoky quartz and typical blue/green amazonite crystals. While most of these are heavily repaired or restored, this specimen has no repairs, however it is most likely minorly stabilized. A very aesthetic piece.
