Polished Lapis Lazuli Freeform – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 469g freeform specimen represents the finest tier of royal blue color saturation. The fine-grained lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, uniform ultramarine tone, beautifully brought to life through a meticulous professional polish that creates a striking mirror-like shine across its surfaces.

The specimen boasts a broad, highly balanced freeform silhouette measuring 12.7 cm in length by 7.8 cm across, offering a highly viewable surface area that maximizes its visual impact on a shelf. Across its sleek faces, a dazzling constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite veins and clusters is brilliantly exposed, catching the light dynamically as it is turned to evoke a classic, high-contrast "starry night" aesthetic. With a stable and sturdy 2.8 cm thickness, this piece holds an excellent structural presence, presenting an imposing display face whether placed on an easel stand or resting flat.
