Lazulite with Quartz

Item Description

Lazulite is a rare magnesium aluminum phosphate, and some of the finest, highly sought after, and best known specimens of this material come from this locality. This area in the Yukon is only accessible for a few months in the summer (it's under snow and ice the rest of the year), and is some of the most treacherous terrain in the world for collecting specimens. This specimen is a decent display piece featuring hundreds of sharp, lustrous, very well formed, monoclinic, deep inky blue color crystals measuring up to 7 mm of Lazulite associated with gemmy brown Quartz crystals on matrix. One of the richest specimens of Lazulite that I have had to offer from this classic Canadian locality.
