Description

Great Austria classic - the most relevant locality for lazulite in entire Alps, and even in mid-Europe. The lazulite shows intense royal blue color, tiny stepped faces and datiny luster. Very fine contrast to light grey matrix, which is not very common for the locality! No significant damages to report.
