Quartzite strikes again! I picked this beauty up while digging through a pile of amazonite.
Most of the material was all broken up, but somehow this specimen survived. It appears to have been part of a larger specimen that maybe broke and that is why it was being sold per pound rather than as a specimen.
Regardless, it's a nice piece. The rich, teal blue color is very appealing.
Light boxing it shows over 1/8 " of a gemmy outer layer.
I purchased this and 4 other, smaller pieces. They come from Brazil, but Amazonite can be found many places. Some of the world's best specimens come from Colorado and are often paired with smokey quartz crystals. You can see them being dug up on a great show called Prospectors on youtube. Careful though, it may light a fire in you and turn you into a hardcore rockhound!
Thanks for reading!

Thanks @ganjafarmer. Ya dude, I love gold too. I started out gold prospecting in Cali., then moved on to collecting gems and minerals. I figured that as I was looking for gold, what other valuable, awesome stuff was I passing up.
If you have any specimens blog about them! Would love to see them.

Going to be posting from the gold and gem show at the Portland Oregon Expo. Going to help out there!
But haven't been able to have many rocks lately. Hope I can put down roots and get some nice ones for sure!

Sweet! Looking forward to the post!
FYI, if you're into gold google Psyche 16. It will blow your mind.
BTW, thank you for the re-steem!

Straight up Fuck that! That's total bullshit! Oh hell no. Not space mining. No hard rock, no strip mining!
I'd go gold dredging in Alaska in Nome if I could...

Oh know how much gold could be there and it's only 3-5% of the gold has been found...

Thanks @jcsteem. I'm not sure if I see things different than other people, but the pictures really don't do justice to the specimen. It is much more awesome in real life.
