Amazonite with Smoky Quartz on Cleavelandite

A classic, balanced combination of the big three minerals from this locality, all in unusual aesthetic balance: Amazonite, Smoky Quartz, and both of them nestled atop a ball of white cleavelandite. Small white quartz shards add an interesting accent, as well. This specimen is an old piece, not through a modern lab. It can probably be "upgraded" a bit through boiling acid and chemistry, but I like the natural look, with bits of iron stain still embedded.
