Polished Lapis Lazuli Freeform – Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 1.7kg 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 face.

The specimen boasts an exceptionally balanced, wide volumetric silhouette measuring 29.0 cm by 17.0 cm across, giving it a massive visual footprint that fills a showcase cabinet beautifully. Across its sleek surfaces, 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 sleek 2.2 cm thickness, this piece presents a grand, expansive display face that looks magnificent whether displayed on an easel stand or resting elegantly on a collector's gallery shelf.
