[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 439611, member: 4386"] Better focus would help. Things like lapis lazuli come to mind, apatite, kyanite, cordierite, azurite, zoisite. I mention some of these blue metamorphic minerals because it looks a bit like different layers of different composition in a rock are reacting together during metamorphism. Alternatively it could be azurite that has infiltrated along the bedding planes in a rock. However one would need an in-focus close-up to even guess (also hardness and streak). [/QUOTE]
