Lazurite -well formed crystal on Marble
Laduar Medam, Sar-e-Sang District, Koksha Valley, Khash and Kuran Wa Mun
Badakshan, Afghanistan
5.5 x 5.3 x 3.4 CM (cabinet)
price: $560
Bright blue and very well exposed on contrasting matrix, this is a striking specimen. In fine condition the form is complete with edge modification clearly visible, and just under 3 CM across. Typically the faces of these crystals are never very lustrous and can be fairly rough or crude. This specimen is about as lustrous as these get, the crystal faces show some course texture but are way more smooth than is normal. From finds a few years ago, a very attractive and clean piece.
