Lapis Lazuli Rough from Afghanistan

Acquire this stunning and substantial piece of Natural Lapis Lazuli Rough, weighing 523 carats (approximately 104.6 grams). This specimen is an excellent example of high-quality Lapis, a stone historically mined in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan.

The stone's rough, unpolished nature reveals its geological formation, displaying a rich, deep blue matrix vividly contrasted by naturally occurring, shimmering Golden Pyrite inclusions. These flecks are often referred to as "stars" and are a key characteristic of authentic, high-grade Lapis Lazuli.
