Lapis Lazuli Rough Specimen – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 80g unpolished specimen offers a raw look into the heart of the earth. The fine-grained lazurite matrix exhibits a deep, saturated indigo-to-ultramarine core, showing off the stone's true texture before any lapidary alteration.

The specimen features a highly charming, compact silhouette measuring 6.6 cm in length by 4.6 cm across, providing an excellent visual footprint for a small display space. With a substantial 3.0 cm depth, this piece presents a robust, chunkier profile that gives it a satisfying weight and a rich three-dimensional volume. Across its raw, texturized surfaces, flecks of brilliant metallic golden Pyrite and pathways of white calcite are dynamically exposed in their natural state, mirroring a dramatic, rugged miniature landscape. It serves as an ideal piece for collectors who appreciate unrefined mineral aesthetics, miniature mineral enthusiasts, or as a natural, earth-born accent for your workspace.
