Rob: Exceptionally lustrous and colorful specimen from an early-90s find by George Stevens at this classic old Arizona locality. No more has been found since! I still remember when they came out, and I bought all I could afford at the time. They quickly disappeared at Tucson, and now come to market only from recycled collections. ----- Photos courtesy of / 2004 The Arkenstone
