Excellent specimen of gemmy blue Lazulite crystals from Rapid Creek - the famous phosphate deposits of Yukon, Canada. 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. The most amazing aspect is the gemminess of the crystals – they have some transparence with marvelous and saturated blue-green colors. Some transparent Quartz crystals and brown Siderite on the back side add nice accent. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Sumptuous Lazulite!
