Presenting a substantial piece of Rough Lapis Lazuli specimen, weighing a precise 32.3 Grams (equivalent to 161.5 Carats). This specimen is perfectly sized for use as a beautiful desk display or a powerful palm stone.
Sourced from the historical, world-renowned mines in the Badakhshan region of Afghanistan, this material is celebrated for its exceptional quality. It beautifully displays the essential mineral composition:
-
Deep Royal Blue Lazurite (providing the core color).
-
Shimmering Pyrite (the metallic golden specks).
-
White Calcite (the crucial element for fluorescence).
The Fluorescent Feature:
This Lapis is a collectible UV Reactive specimen. When excited by a longwave UV light (365nm blacklight), the inherent Calcite components and trace sodalite minerals within the matrix will emit a vibrant yellow or orange glow. This stunning transformation offers a hidden, second display for collectors.
This naturally formed, rough specimen measures a compact 45 x 34 x 28 mm.
