SV2120TXD: Pair of interpenetrating Microcline crystals (variety amazonite) with the characteristic greenish-bluish color for specimens of this species, and polysynthetic textures that give it some fine whitish lineations on the faces of the crystals. The specimen is an American classic formed in miarolitic cavities in the Pikes Peak granitic batholith, and it has a rich pedigree as it comes from the collection of Paul Desautels -whose label we will send to the buyer of the piece- curator of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, and from the collection of Henry-Jean Schubnel, curator of the National Museum of Natural History of Paris.
