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.
