A superb and classic smoky quartz and amazonite specimen from the Florissant area of Colorado. This fine, unrepaired piece is dominated by a superbly placed 5.0 cm, translucent, smoky quartz crystal that has a low-luster finish. The two smaller smoky quartzes and the turquoise-blue amazonite crystals wonderfully complete this very fine piece. The large smoky quartz is complete all-around and is very nearly pristine. Ex. Peter Bancroft Collection.
