A superb crystal of Lazurite from Afghanistan, aesthetically positioned on a white marble matrix. The Lazurite crystal measures 2 cm and showcases exceptional color and luster for this typically rock-forming mineral, creating a striking contrast against the matrix. This piece also features a goldish spray of Pyrite. This specimen features a sharp, well-exposed crystal, far exceeding the standard quality typically found. The aesthetics and quality are truly amazing in every aspect. This remarkable piece comes from a newly discovered pocket.
