72g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary high-altitude pockets of Badakhshan, this 72g rough specimen represents the absolute peak of royal blue color purity. The fine-grained lazurite matrix holds an incredibly deep, rich blue tone, entirely free from the heavy white calcite veining that commonly dilutes lower-grade material.

Kept in its completely raw, natural form, the slender face of this specimen reveals a spectacular constellation of shimmering metallic Pyrite. These golden inclusions run in delicate veins and flakes across its surfaces, creating a striking contrast that catches the light beautifully from any angle. Spanning an impressive 9.2 cm in length with a balanced 2.5 cm by 2.0 cm cross-section, this elegant, elongated shape makes it an outstanding accent display piece or highly efficient rough for precision lapidary work, custom carvings, and fine inlay work.
