208g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 208g rough specimen represents the absolute peak of royal blue color purity. The fine-grained, premium lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, uniform blue tone that remains remarkably consistent throughout the stone, completely untouched by the heavy white calcite veins that often mask lower-grade material.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts a beautifully concentrated face measuring 7.0 cm by 6.5 cm. What makes this particular block truly extraordinary is its massive 5.3 cm thickness, creating a bold, compact, three-dimensional structural presence on a collector's shelf rather than a typical flat slab. Across these deep raw surfaces, a stunning constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite clusters and fine, shimmering veins catches the light exquisitely as the stone is turned, evoking a classic "starry night" aesthetic. For lapidaries, this uncommonly thick geometry provides maximum volume and absolute creative freedom for deep 3D sculptures, heavy custom carvings, flawless thick cabochons, or luxury gemstone inlay work.
