Deep Indigo Blue Lazurite Crystal

Deep Indigo Blue Lazurite Crystal from Near Rapid Creek, Yukon, Canada

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

Two huge crystals of equant, gemmy, lustrous, bicolored, royal blue and emerald green Lazulite perched atop a contrasting matrix with many, colorless, 1 mm crystals of an unknown phosphate. The larger of the Lazulite crystals reaches 1.8 cm across, almost a record for the locality I believe. This is certainly a competition quality miniature and could also be trimmed to a ridiculously killer thumbnail , probably among the best known for species.
