T232 - Lazulite, Siderite, Apatite $ 3000 (=~ € 2463) Rapid Creek, Yukon, Canada large cabinet - 20.5 x 13 x 3 cm ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Large flat specimen of ironstone loaded with crystals of blue Lazulite, tan Siderite, and white Apatite.

This was far and away the very best of a large lot of Lazulite specimens I obtained during a trip to Canada 20 years ago. Colorful, high quality specimen, especially for such large size.
