{"product_id":"rough-lapis-lazuli-34","title":"372g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eSourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 372g rough specimen represents the highest standard of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"174\"\u003eroyal blue\u003c\/b\u003e color purity. The fine-grained, premium lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, uniform blue tone, remaining virtually untouched by the heavy white calcite veins that often compromise lower-grade material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eKept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts an elongated display profile measuring 11.0 cm in length by 5.9 cm across. What makes this piece truly extraordinary is its massive \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"200\"\u003e6.5 cm thickness\u003c\/b\u003e, giving it an incredibly bold, chunky three-dimensional presence on a collector's shelf rather than a typical flat slab. Across these deep raw surfaces, a stunning constellation of bright, metallic golden \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"422\"\u003ePyrite\u003c\/b\u003e clusters and fine veins catches the light beautifully as the stone is turned, evoking a classic \"starry night\" aesthetic. For master lapidaries, this uncommonly thick, high-volume block provides exceptional structural depth and maximum yield for complex carvings, heavy cabochons, or luxury gemstone inlay work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Fine Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52601277284639,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5077\/7375\/files\/IMG_8293.jpg?v=1781167923","url":"https:\/\/premierfineminerals.com\/products\/rough-lapis-lazuli-34","provider":"Premier Fine Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
