World Class specimen of Amazonite crystals with Cleavelandite and terminated Smoky Quartz!
This is the best small cab I've ever seen from the Tree Root Pocket in Teller County, Colorado.
This specimen is formally of Irv Brown's competition display and widely considered one of the best
specimens from the Tree Root Pocket. I've never found a specimen that can compare to it in terms
of color, sharpness, and aesthetics. It's also completely undamaged and unrepaired.
Measures 8.5 cm by 6 cm in size.
Ex. Irv Brown, Kevin Ward Collections
Currently in the Van Tichelen Collection
