Raw Lapis Lazuli Mine 4 – Lapis Mine 4 Afghanistan

Commanding Volumetric Presence and Rich Natural Saturation Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 700g 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, unrefined texture before any lapidary alteration.

The specimen features a highly impactful, square-like silhouette measuring 11.0 cm by 10.0 cm across, providing an incredibly wide and broad visual footprint on a gallery shelf. What makes this piece exceptional is its significant 4.5 cm depth. This thick, blocky architectural profile gives it incredible three-dimensional volume and a heavy, satisfying visual weight from every angle, maximizing its visible face beautifully. Across its raw, texturized surfaces, veins of brilliant metallic golden Pyrite 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 center piece, making it an ideal choice for collectors who appreciate unrefined mineral aesthetics or lapidary artists seeking premium, high-yield carving material.
