What makes this Colorado amazonite so nifty is how a smaller, deep blue crystal sits right on the termination of one of the tall crystals, and next to the bright blue and lustrous termination of the second large crystal; giving this piece really super aesthetics I think. The contrast of the light blue with the deeper blue and the sculptural interplay of forms is what makes this one special. 7.8 x 7 x 4.8 cm
