Description
A well-formed euhedral crystal of Lazurite (Lapislazuli) - not to be confused with Lazulite, which just to confuse everyone sounds more like "Lapislazuli" but is a completely different mineral. Good undamaged crystals showing this many faces up off the matrix are not easy to find at all! And here we have a fine contrastful and colourful piece with azure blue colour and great luster, for what it is. Obviously, this region is not exactly conducive to specimen mining right now and these have really dried up on the market over the last few years...and this is a super mini.
