Lazulite
Lazulite from this small find, of about 7-8 years ago, constitutes the clear best of species material for its kind. These crystals are not only huge compared to all other lazulite, but they are GEMMY to the point where much of the material went for gem rough. Also, they are multicolored and just plain "neat." For an Afghani phosphate, this came as a total surprise and to my knowledge no more have been found since that first small series of phosphate pods. Although contacted on the back side it displays well from the front. this marvelous, translucent and lustrous, teal blue crystal of lazulite lights up dramatically when backlit even minimally.
