Bertrandite with Beryl var. Aquamarine, Smoky Quartz & Fluorite Mt Antero, Chaffee Co., Colorado 11.86cm x 7.4cm x 4.64cm Ex. Arthur Montgomery (Dec. 3, 1938)

Description/Interesting Notes: A magnificent, old time example of bertrandite from this famous Colorado locale!!! This specimen hosts two prominent groups of parallel associated bertrandite crystals in association with aquamarine, fluorite, and smoky quartz!!! The bertrandite crystals are complete, undamaged, and measure up to 1cm!!! The crystals are sharp and have marked luster!!! One of the bertrandite crystals is perched on blue aquamarine while the other is perched on an octahedral crystal of fluorite!!! The matrix is comprised mainly of smoky quartz with a significant showing of somewhat altered aquamarine and some small, scattered masses of fluorite!!! There are numerous small vugs throughout the matrix that may host other small crystals upon close inspection with a loupe or scope!!! This is an old time specimen collected by the legendary mineralogist Arthur Montgomery!!! This specimen retains a detailed museum label card that notes it came from Arthur Montgomery on December 3, 1938!!! This is an absolutely killer old time Colorado bertrandite with fantastic history as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
