This is a great specimen from one of the most storied and well known districts in Colorado. The pegmatites near the Lake George area of Colorado have produced what most collectors and dealers consider to be the finest Amazonite specimens from the standpoint of superb color, top quality, wonderful display specimens and excellent associations. This particular specimen, has no Amazonite, but it does feature a few, sharp, gemmy purple color "tumbling dice" cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 1.4 cm on edge sitting on grey Quartz crystals on matrix. To find Fluorite crystals so well-balanced on a specimen is quite unusual for this area. This specimen was collected over nearly years ago (September of 1980) when Richard Kosnar found some of the finest color Amazonite from Colorado extant. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
