Splendid bright and gem blue Lazulite crystals from a new find in Rapid Creek - the famous phosphate deposits of Yukon.

Lazulite crystals are sharp, highly lustrous, very well formed, monoclinic, vivid and rich blue color measuring up to 2mm. The most amazing aspect is the gemminess of the crystals – they are transparent with marvelousblue-green colors. Some gemmy yellow-brown Siderite crystals add a nice accent. Some contacts.
