Description

Excellent specimen with colourless lasnierite in quartz-matrix associated with blue lazulite spots. The lasnierite is marked with a yellow arrow. In the showed pictures, I marked the specimen for better identification with an orange square.

New and rarely offered mineral (IMA2017-084). Comes from the type locality. Lasnierite is only known from ONE locality worldwide.

Interesting additional information: According to the initial description, lasnierite is macroscopic and usually smaller than 0.1 mm. Lasnierite occurs in a large-grained recrystallized highly metamorphic lazulite quartzite.
