A dramatic smoky quartz, amazonite and feldspar CABINET specimen from Teller Co., Colorado. This is large unrepaired piece with a nice large, blue amazonite crystal and lustrous, translucent smoky quartz crystals. In the context of this large specimen, the few minor dings on the quartz terminations don't visually detract very much. It is rare to find affordable large smoky/amazonite combo pieces and in any case most of them are repaired, though this one notably is not! 13.8 x 12.8 x 9.5 cm
