Post by roc2rol »

Hi All!

He gave me this excellent piece of lapis Lazuli

My question is: well… do you see those gold specks?
I’m assume its pyrite

Don't know tho...
As gold been known to form in lazuli?
Anyone know ?

& enjoy

Just to follow up
the person who gave me this chunk of Lazuli
assured me that its pyrite

cause any gold on this board gets an
immediate response
