118g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary high-altitude pockets of Afghanistan, this 118g rough specimen represents the pinnacle of royal blue color purity. The dense 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 wide 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. Measuring 6.4 cm by 5.6 cm with a robust 3.4 cm thickness, this specimen offers a solid three-dimensional shape, making it an outstanding shelf display piece or highly efficient slicing rough for luxury cabochons, custom carvings, and fine inlay work.
