{"product_id":"rough-lapis-lazuli-111","title":"Lapis Lazuli Rough Specimen – Badakhshan, Afghanistan","description":"\u003cp\u003eSourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 111g 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specimen features a highly impactful, elongated silhouette measuring 9.5 cm in length by 5.8 cm across, providing a remarkably wide and commanding visual footprint for its weight class on a gallery shelf. With a stable \u003cb\u003e2.9 cm depth\u003c\/b\u003e, this piece presents a beautifully balanced three-dimensional volume, offering an expansive face that maximizes the visible stone without feeling overly bulky. 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 serves as an ideal piece for collectors who appreciate unrefined mineral aesthetics, miniature mineral enthusiasts, or as an earth-born accent on a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Fine Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52620676170015,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5077\/7375\/files\/IMG_3430.jpg?v=1781698663","url":"https:\/\/premierfineminerals.com\/products\/rough-lapis-lazuli-111","provider":"Premier Fine Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
