700g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 700g rough specimen represents the highest standard of royal blue color purity. The fine-grained, premium lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, uniform blue tone, remaining remarkably clean and virtually untouched by the heavy white calcite veins that often compromise lower-grade material.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts an expansive surface face measuring 13.2 cm in length by 8.0 cm across. Across these raw surfaces, a stunning constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite clusters and fine veins catches the light beautifully as the stone is turned, evoking a classic "starry night" aesthetic. With its highly generous 5.4 cm thickness, this piece forms a solid, chunky block rather than a flat slab. It commands an outstanding three-dimensional presence on a collector's shelf and serves as premium, deep stock for master lapidaries creating custom carvings, thick spheres, or luxury gemstone inlay work.
