| Comments: | Mike Hawkins, curator of the mineral collection at the NY State Museum wrote:
"... lazurite from the St. Joe Edwards Mine found in the 1970's. I think it is the intermixed diopside that fluoresces blue-white. The Edwards mineral was originally described as hauynite, but modern analysis shows lazurite. They are very difficult to tell apart with sophisticated tests." |
