Description

Very rare material from this famous locality, which produced the very best quality of lazulte world-wide. The specimen features several sharp terminated, highly lustrous and royal blue lazulite crystals. They are isolated and exposed and show a magnificant contrast to sparkling tiny quartz crystals and lustrous dark brown siderite. The main crystal(13mm) shows a remarkable dimension! A very attractive specimen, aesthetic and in best condition. Very hard to obtain, highly recommended!
