Scorzalite

zIn 2009 some very impressive and attractive specimens of Scorzalite were found at the Estano Orcko mine in Bolivia. For some time, these specimens were thought to be Lazulite, but I was actually the one who first reported (through analysis) that they are indeed Scorazlite (the iron analogue of Lazulite). For the size, luster and overall quality of the crystals, they are certainly some of the best Scorzalites to hit the market in a very long time.

This particular specimen hosts a few sharp, very lustrous, good quality, deep inky-blue color, monoclinic crystals of Scorzalite on matrix. For rarities collectors, or those who admire Bolivian minerals, this piece would make a great addition to your collection.
