I’ve added some excellent specimens of lazulite from Rapid Creek in this Yukon Lazulite Update (click here).
Discovered in the 1970s, the occurrences at Rapid Creek have become known for a variety of minerals, including what are arguably the world’s finest crystals of lazulite. These occurrences are very remote and the costs are high, so specimen collection efforts are few and far between, and it is hard to obtain fine specimens. Most of these fine lazulites are from a recent find, in 2015, and there are a couple of older ones here as well. These are super lazulite crystals.
