(Pertitic Texture) Amazonite Crystal Mineral Collection - Height: 27 mm - Width: 38 mm- 32 g

Magnificent prismatic crystal of amazonite (feldspar variety microcline) with a well-defined monoclinic pseudomorphic habit, characterized by an intense and unparalleled turquoise-blue green color. The crystal clearly exhibits the classic interlacing of a pertitic texture, where fine sheets of white albite exsolution intersect the green microcline mass, creating a highly aesthetic reticulated pattern. On its lateral edge lies a small translucent quartz crystal in direct paragenetic contact. The pronounced saturation at the color center (associated with the presence of lead and natural irradiation), together with the geometric definition of its faces and edges, position this piece as a classic representative specimen from the pegmatitic cavities of the famed Pikes Peak granite intrusion.
