Top quality lazulite crystals from the famous phosphate deposits of Yukon, Canada. Lazulite is a rare magnesium aluminum phosphate and some of the finest come from this locality. Lazulite crystals are razor–sharp, highly glassy–lustrous, very well formed, monoclinic, deep indigo blue color measuring to 10mm. Many crystals have gemmy areas with striking royal–blue color. Translucent to transparent amber–brown siderite crystals add a cool contrast. They are octahedral, sharp and lustrous. For references see the 1992 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 23, # 4. In excellent condition – some outside edge contacts. On acrylic base.
Gorgeous!
