Lazulite is a magnesium aluminum phosphate mineral. This mineral is distinguished by its intense blue color, often compared to that of lazurite, although it does not contain sulfur. Lazulite crystallizes in the monoclinic system, forming prismatic or tabular crystals. It is commonly found in low- to medium-temperature metamorphic rocks, such as schists and quartzites.
Lazulite deposits are primarily located in Austria, Sweden, and Brazil, although notable occurrences also exist in Canada and the United States. Lazulite often forms in association with other phosphate minerals, such as scorzalite and svanbergite, as well as silicate minerals such as quartz.
For collectors and mineral enthusiasts, lazulite is prized for its relative rarity and aesthetic appeal. In the collectible mineral market, it is prized for its well-crystallized specimens that reveal its complex internal structure. Because lazulite is sometimes confused with other blue minerals, an accurate description and high-quality photos are essential.

Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. It belongs to the silicate group and comes in a wide variety of crystalline forms and colors: amethyst, citrine, smoky quartz, faden quartz... Thanks to its hardness, resistance to weathering and great abundance, quartz is one of the most common minerals on Earth.
Quartz has remarkable physical and chemical properties. It is very hard, chemically inert and has excellent thermal conductivity. Its crystalline structure, characterized by a regular organization of silicon and oxygen atoms, gives it piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, i.e. the ability to generate an electrical charge in response to mechanical stress or a change in temperature.
Due to its hardness and abundance, it is widely used in the construction industry as a component of concrete, mortar, and glass. The piezoelectric properties of quartz make it a material of choice for making oscillators, filters, and sensors used in clocks, computers, and electronic equipment.
