327g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 327g rough specimen represents the highest standard of royal blue color purity. The fine-grained, premium lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, uniform blue tone, virtually untouched by the heavy white calcite veins that often compromise lower-grade material.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts a magnificent, almost square face measuring roughly 9 cm by 9 cm. Across its raw surfaces, a stunning constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite clusters and fine veins catches the light beautifully from every angle. With its robust 5.0 cm thickness and blocky profile, this piece has an outstanding three-dimensional presence on a collector's shelf and serves as highly efficient rough for master lapidaries creating custom carvings, large spheres, or premium bookmatched slices.
