Raw Lapis lazuli for Sale – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 70g 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 attractive, compact silhouette measuring 6.7 cm by 4.3 cm across, providing a perfect visual footprint that displays beautifully on a miniature gallery shelf. What makes this piece exceptional for its weight class is its significant 3.0 cm depth. This thick, chunky profile gives it an incredible three-dimensional volume and a heavy, satisfying visual weight from every angle. 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 serves as an ideal piece for collectors who appreciate unrefined mineral aesthetics, lapidary artists seeking premium pocket pocket material, or as a natural accent on a desk.
