A 2.0 cm, sharp, classic ultramarine-blue Lazurite dodecahedron is dramatically perched atop a sawed mountain of contrasting marble. Adjacent is a sharp, RARE TABULAR hexagonal, 1.3 cm, gray Nepheline crystal, making for a striking 360-degree specimen. The Nepheline fluoresces grayish-white. Classic Lazurite with a RARE textbook-sharp Nepheline crystal aside... from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this fine combination rarity at $400 over eight years ago. It is worth more!
