Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely magnificent example of quartz and lazulite from Rapid Creek!!! This specimen
consists of a complex, doubly terminated quartz crystal that hosts numerous, intensely
colored lazulite crystals and lustrous, water-clear augelite crystals!!! The lazulite
crystals are present both on, and included in the quartz, itself!!! The augelite
crystals are present as several dense patches of sparkling crystals to over 2mm!!!
In fact, the areas that appear to be "druzy" quartz are actually all augelite crystals!!!
While there are a few small quartz points in association, the outcroppings on the specimen are
comprised of an aesthetic amalgam of augelite and lazulite with some siderite!!! This specimen is
complete all around, with no point of attachment, and is in magnificent condition!!! A very
aesthetic and unique specimen indeed, the pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
