A fine and classic amazonite specimen from the Crystal Peak area of Colorado. The sharp lustrous crystals have excellent, turquoise-blue color and the large crystal is a Carlsbad twin. Both crystals are sharply terminated and the large crystal is complete all-around and is undamaged. The smaller crystal is contacted on the back. Highly representative material from this classic Colorado locale.
