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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specimen features a highly compact and powerful silhouette measuring 9.5 cm by 7.5 cm across, giving it a solid and imposing visual footprint on a display shelf. What makes this piece truly remarkable is its incredible \u003cb\u003e9.0 cm depth\u003c\/b\u003e. This extraordinary thickness gives the specimen an intense three-dimensional volume and a heavy, boulder-like presence, allowing it to show beautifully 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 stable on its own, making it an ideal choice for collectors who appreciate unrefined mineral aesthetics or lapidary artists seeking premium, high-yield cutting blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Fine Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52620682920223,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5077\/7375\/files\/IMG_3535.jpg?v=1781699122","url":"https:\/\/premierfineminerals.com\/products\/rough-lapis-lazuli-126","provider":"Premier Fine Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
