This is a DRAMATIC and beautiful example of the CLASSIC Colorado combo: deep blue amazonite with smoky quartz. What makes this one special is how the smoky has grown right around the side of the amazonite. Note how the smoky grew right into the amazonite, except for the very left side, where it continued its growth and then sharply terminated! 5.4 x 4.1 x 3.5cm
