Nestled behind Spring Creek Reservoir lies Italian Mountain, home to Crested Butte’s gemstone Lapis Lazuli. Lapis is only found in 3 other places in the world, Afghanistan, Chile, and Siberia. From the time it was discovered in 1939 at an elevation of 12,700 feet on Italian mountain until the mine closed in 1990, Crested Butte’s lapis made a regional stir. It’s among the best the world has ever seen! P.S. thanks for camping up here with me @motilton 😘
