Lazulite and Pyrite from Pakistan

A Pakistan specimen featuring lazulite and pyrite. The first thing that stands out is how well the lazulite shows against the matrix, which gives the whole piece a really sharp look.

The pyrite is a nice secondary feature, but the blue lazulite is definitely the star here. Posting a video so the surface detail and overall character come through properly.

Hiddenite - Adam's Farm, NC

What is the general consensus on Hiddenite, because Ive heard some say its only green spodumene from NC and others saying its all green spodumene, and others saying its only Chromium bearing green spodumene.

What is your holy grail?

I am big into fluorite collecting and I am trying to finish out collecting all the UKMV Pockets. I have all of Lady Annabella and Rogerley but I still have 5 more to collect from Diana Maria.

My BIGGEST Holy Grail search is a Why-Aye Pocket. They are just so beautiful and unique in its color and that is my top search list.

what's yours?
