Lazulite: A Rare and Radiant Blue Gemstone from the Natural History Museum Lazulite, a captivating gemstone with a striking blue hue, is a rare mineral composed primarily of magnesium iron aluminum phosphate hydroxide. This beautiful specimen, showcased in this studio shot from The Natural History Museum's collection, is a testament to the wonders of the natural world. Lazulite's name may be confused with that of the mineral lazurite, which shares a similar sound and appearance, but they are distinctly different. Lazulite is a phosphate mineral, while lazurite is a sulfosalt mineral. The metal irons and aluminums that make up this gemstone give it a metallic sheen, adding to its allure. The deep blue color is a result of the presence of hydroxide and magnesium. Lazulite is a native mineral, meaning it forms naturally in the earth without the need for human intervention. This rare gemstone has been a subject of fascination for collectors and natural historians for centuries. Its unique composition and striking appearance make it a valuable addition to any mineral collection. The Natural History Museum's extensive collection of minerals and gemstones is a treasure trove of natural wonders. Each specimen tells a story of the earth's geological history and the processes that shaped our planet. This Lazulite specimen is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the minerals that can be found beneath our feet. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious observer, this image of a Lazulite gemstone is sure to inspire wonder and appreciation for the natural world and the rare treasures it holds.
