Description

A superb recent find from the famed Ladjwar Madan locality, renowned for its lazurite. This is a well-doubly terminated, highly lustrous, gemmy Nepheline /Hackmanite crystal with Nosean inclusions. This specimen is very beautiful, eye catching blue , due to inclusion. The specimen is perfect all around and even more beautiful in person, I have never seen such a fine example of this material before. It is also highly UV-responsive, adding to its uniqueness. Additional photos and video are available on request.

04 October 2022: -

Shipping service from Thailand has resumed, we will be using Thaipost.

All paid order will be ship within one week.

- Due to continuous weekly auctions at e-rocks, we  need to prepare many packages with care and complete information , sometime rarely paid orders get delays up to maximum one week because of my unexpected mineral trips to mining areas, or late cargo for moving  minerals to  our shipping base at Thailand, my apologies always for the inconvenience. 

2- Flat shipping charges to world wide , we combine orders to reduce overall shipping       cost, Please find your tracking number from your shipped order page

I am always thankful to all of my minerals friends for their long time support and understanding.

Cheers.
