{"product_id":"rough-lapis-lazuli-107","title":"Lapis Lazuli Rough Specimen – Badakhshan, Afghanistan","description":"\u003cp\u003eSourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 357g 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specimen features a highly impactful, blocky silhouette measuring 9.8 cm in length by 6.3 cm across, providing a powerful display footprint on a gallery shelf. What makes this piece extraordinary is its incredible \u003cb\u003e6.3 cm depth\u003c\/b\u003e. This near-equant, cube-like architectural habit gives it massive three-dimensional volume and an imposing, chunkier presence that looks spectacular from every angle. Across its raw, texturized surfaces, veins of brilliant metallic golden \u003cb\u003ePyrite\u003c\/b\u003e and pathways 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, making it a dream for collectors who appreciate unrefined mineral aesthetics or lapidary artists seeking premium carving blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Fine Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52620465471775,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5077\/7375\/files\/IMG_3331.jpg?v=1781685676","url":"https:\/\/premierfineminerals.com\/products\/rough-lapis-lazuli-107","provider":"Premier Fine Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
