10.9 x 8.1 x 5.4 cm. Scorzalite is a rare blue phosphate, and this is an extremely rich example from a classic US phosphate locality. The deep blue crystals here are to 7mm, mostly in a pocket about the middle of the specimen. Some are damaged, but the core shows good crystals within the color zone. A number of embedded brazilianite crystals are in association, scattered throughout the matrix.
MD-245653 - Scorzalite - - Archived Estaño Orcko mine (Estaño Orkho mine), Machacamarca District (Colavi District), Cornelio Saavedra Province, Potosí Department, Bolivia small cabinet, 6.8 x 5.7 x 5.1 cm.
6.8 x 5.7 x 5.1 cm. Recently some very impressive and attractive specimens of Scorzalite were found at the Estaño Orcko mine in Bolivia. For some time these specimens were thought to be Lazulite, but Brian Kosnar was the one who first reported (through analysis) that they are indeed Scorzalite (the iron analogue of Lazulite). For the size, luster and overall quality of the crystals, they are certainly some of the best Scorazlites to reach the market in a very long time. This particular specimen hosts a few sharp, very lustrous, deep inky-blue color, monoclinic crystals of Scorzalite measuring up to 3 mm on matrix.
