Raw Lapis lazuli with Golden pyrite inclusion From Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary high-altitude deposits of Badakhshan, this 60g rough specimen represents the highest standard of royal blue color purity. The fine-grained, premium lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, uniform blue tone, entirely free from the heavy white calcite veins that often compromise lower-grade material.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts an incredibly well-proportioned surface face measuring 5.5 cm by 4.5 cm. What makes this pocket block truly distinct is its remarkable 3.4 cm thickness, giving it a bold, chunkier structure rather than a flat flake or thin slice. Across its raw faces, a beautiful constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite clusters catches the light elegantly as the stone is turned, evoking a classic "starry night" aesthetic. This dense piece commands an outstanding presence in a miniature collection and serves as high-quality stock for precision jewelry work, high-dome cabochons, or luxury gemstone inlay.
