Lazurite

Ovalle, LimarĂ­ Province, Coquimbo Region, Chile

5.5cm x 4.9cm x 3.77cm

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection #1059


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique and colorful example of lazurite from Chile!!! This material is quite characteristic and unlike that from any other locality!!! This specimen consists of a cut and polished mass of lazurite that shows a gorgeous play of intense blue color swirled throughout!!! It is difficult to fully appreciate from the pics, but in person the color is simply electric!!! The lighter colored matrix has a slightly yellowish hue in person that really sets the blue colors off in a unique and aesthetic fashion!!! The blue coloration varies from a classic deep "denim" blue to an electric blue that is simply amazing in person!!! Examples of lazulite from this locality are seldom seen on the market!!! Old material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains an original collection label as well!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 8th!!!

***PLEASE NOTE: We are located in coastal New Jersey and our area has been decimated by HURRICANE SANDY. While Mandy and I are safe and did not suffer any damage, the local area is in very bad shape. The National Guard is here and there has been an overwhelming influx of help and support from all over. We have been lucky enough to have our power restored but there is a critical lack of resources throughout the area. As a result, we may experience some shipping delays and encounter other logistical issues. We thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes and patience during this time. We will continue to offer specimens from the Nikischer collection, as well as other recent acquisitions, during this time however - so don't miss out!!!
