Unique specimen of gem Lazulite and gem Fluorapatite crystals decorated by Siderite and minor Quartz from the famous phosphate deposits of Yukon. The Fluorapatite crystals have pleasing light purple color which is quite rare for the locality with some colorless areas. They are strongly lustrous, gem and very well crystallized with barrel shape. Lazulite is a rare magnesium aluminum phosphate and some of the finest come from this locality. The Lazulite crystals are sharp, highly lustrous, very well formed, monoclinic, deep indigo blue color measuring up to 6mm. Many crystals have gem areas with marvelous blue nuances. Gemmy Siderite crystals with honey-brown color add a nice accent. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Superb!
