Presenting a high-quality, handheld piece of Rough Lapis Lazuli specimen, weighing a precise 28.7 Grams (equivalent to 143.5 Carats). This piece is perfectly sized for mineral display or for smaller lapidary projects.
Sourced directly from the prestigious Mine 4 in the Badakhshan region of Afghanistan, this Lapis Lazuli exhibits the classic, desired composition: a deep, vibrant blue due to Lazurite, scattered metallic sparkle from Pyrite, and veins of white Calcite.
The Fluorescent Feature:
This Lapis is a desirable UV Reactive specimen. When excited by a longwave UV light (365nm blacklight), the inherent Calcite components within the matrix glow a vivid yellow or orange. This transformation adds an element of excitement and complexity that conventional Lapis lacks.
This naturally formed, rough specimen measures a compact 53 x 22 x 20 mm.
