1.55kg Royal Blue Lapis Lazuli Rough – Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 1.55 kg unpolished specimen represents an incredible raw look into the heart of the earth. The fine-grained lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, saturated indigo-to-ultramarine core, showing off the stone's true, unrefined texture before any lapidary alteration.

The specimen boasts a highly imposing silhouette measuring 17.0 cm by 12.0 cm across, providing a massive display footprint. What makes this magnificent piece truly extraordinary is its staggering 7.0 cm depth, giving it a heavy, chunkier three-dimensional weight that stands out dramatically from typical flat pieces. Across its raw, texturized surfaces, a dazzling constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite veins and paths of white calcite are dynamically exposed in their natural state, mirroring a dramatic, rugged "starry night" landscape. It stands perfectly stable as a standalone focal piece on an executive desk, mantelpiece, or gallery shelf, making it a dream for collectors who appreciate unrefined mineral aesthetics or lapidary artists seeking premium carving material.
