Item Description
This is a huge dipyramidal crystal to have such sharpness, and it has very rich powder-blue color for the well-known locality. For all the rutiles we see from here, only a relatively few lazulites are ever found, and mostly they are tiny and grayish. This is closer to lapis blue, than most. The side car crystal and flanking pyrophyllite blades are a nifty accent. Choice, large material valued at $1000.
