Ink Blue Lapis Lazuli Rough Specimen – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 62g 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, slender silhouette measuring 7.7 cm in length by 3.5 cm across, providing a delicate and graceful visual footprint for a small display space. With a balanced 2.1 cm depth, this piece presents a streamlined raw profile that maximizes its viewable face without feeling heavy or bulky. 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.
