| Description |
An incredible, gemmy, navy blue lazulite on matrix from Rapid Creek. These minerals have a similar deep blue to a very dark azurite, but they have a different crystal form which rarely forms very large individual crystals, and cleaves to reveal a deep lagoon blue color, as can been seen in this specimen photo. |
