164g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 164g 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 free from the heavy white calcite veins that typically compromise lower-grade material.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen features an impressive, balanced profile spanning 8.0 cm in length. Across its raw faces, a stunning constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite clusters and fine flakes catches the light beautifully from every angle. With its robust 4.3 cm thickness, this piece boasts a powerful three-dimensional presence on a collector's shelf and serves as highly efficient rough for master lapidaries creating custom carvings, thick cabochons, or luxury gemstone inlay.
