This is a dramatic matrix specimen of gemmy, lustrous, bicolor, blue and green lazulite in crystals reaching nearly 1.0 cm across. It is most elegant, as it has a 3-dimensional cluster atop that looks like a lizard perched on matrix. The lower portion of the specimen has been contacted or damaged, which results in a nice contrast in form and color with the 3-dimensional crystals above (the major ones which are pristine). This damage on the bottom is present but mitigated by the overall effect, actually emphasizing the color and size of the crystals above. The price has been lowered accordingly though, so this is a bargain in the lot with good ddisplay-quality crystals at a fair price.
