An impressive and tall-standing plate that is almost entirely composed of several stunningly-formed, prismatic Amazonite crystals (up to 7.1 centimeters in length) from the Dreamtime Claim. Each crystal is deeply saturated with a rich and desirable teal color that is contrasted by small pockets of white that blend nicely across the crystal faces. The back side of the specimen is covered in a backdrop of white Feldspar and isolated, colorless growths of Quartz. When this large plate first came into Dan's collection back in 2015, he initially bought it as two separate pieces, later realizing the two were a match and reassembling them into this magnificent specimen. Most Amazonite specimens (especially larger ones) are usually fragmented via natural geological processes while they are still in the pocket. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
