QUARTZ WITH LAZULITE and LASNIERITE (New Mineral)

Origin: Madagascar

Color: Blue

FOR RARE GEMSTONES COLLECTION

This extremely rare gem is from Madagascar, the deposits are to date exhausted, the pieces we offer are the last available pieces. It is a translucent to transparent stone, which is characterized by magnificent inclusions of Lazulite of blue to blue-gray color, which vaguely recall certain white treats sprinkled with menthol crystals. Lazulite is a hydrated phosphate of magnesium and aluminum which has the particularity to present a strong pleochroism, indeed the blue crystals become colorless, according to the angle of view using a polarizing filter. the original deposit was found at Mahaiza in the Betafo district, central Madagascar. Recently, a study carried out on samples of this stone, made it possible to discover a new mineral: Lasnierite, which was described in 2019.
