Item Description
Recently some very impressive and attractive specimens of Scorzalite were found at the Estano Orcko mine in Bolivia. For some time these specimens were thought to be Lazulite, but Brian Kosnar was the one who first reported (through analysis) that they are indeed Scorzalite (the iron analogue of Lazulite). For the size, luster and overall quality of the crystals, they are certainly some of the best Scorzalites to hit the market in a very long time. This particular specimen hosts a few inky-blue color, monoclinic crystals of Scorzalite measuring up to 3.5 mm on matrix. For rarities collectors, or those who admire Bolivian minerals, this piece would make a great addition to your collection. Enjoy.
