Item Description
Probably the most desired species from this famous phosphate locality, these Lazulites are every bit as lustrous and deep blue as you could hope for. It is an unusually rich plate of them, too! The crystals, which range up to about .8 cm, are richly distributed along the surface of the plate. On top of all that, there are numerous gemmy Siderite rhombs and sharp, gemmy Quartz crystals, creating even more aesthetic appeal. An excellent specimen. Classic. Last purchased for $300....in the mid 1990s!
