Description

When you see this specimen you would at first think on finest quality from Colorado, this saturation, this awesome deep robins-egg blue color gives this piece very high relevance for Ethiopia, not too much material was found in this quality! And then look at this spectacular dimension! Of course there were huge crystals from Konso, but never in this amazing union with sharpness, luster and color. Amazonite on very high level - not only for Ethiopia, even world-wide.
