This miniature Microcline var. Amazonite from the famous Lake George area in Park County, Colorado, USA has really excellent colour. It consists of two main crystals - one sitting as a side-car alongside the first which is 4 cm tall. Neither crystal is perfect but their overall shape is good. They are missing parts of their rear and base, but their rich turquoise-blue colour is really intense. Ex David Hardman collection no. 2339, this one probably dates to the 1960s or 1970s.
