Item Description
Scintillating, partially gemmy, deep indigo-blue, lazulite crystals to 9 mm are beautifully complimented by the gemmy, amber, siderite crystals on this excellent and very rich, two-sided crust from Rapid Creek. The 'B" side is richer in siderite crystals and also hosts some quartz. The crystal quality, dense combination crystal coverage and sculptural aesthetics make for an outstanding specimen from this famous locale. Two lighting systems were used to highlight the color and gemminess of the lazulite and siderite crystals. Valued at $500-700.
