92g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the world-famous deposits of Badakhshan, this 92g rough specimen represents the classic, top-tier grade of Afghan material. The fine-grained lazurite matrix holds a remarkably deep, uniform royal blue tone, showing virtually none of the distracting white calcite patches that reduce the quality of lower-grade stones.

Left completely unpolished in its raw state, the specimen features a beautiful constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite flecks distributed across its surfaces. Measuring 6.4 cm long with a sleek, versatile 2.9 cm thickness, it boasts an excellent face-to-weight ratio. This profile makes it a highly attractive specimen for an upright mineral collection display, as well as premium-grade rough for lapidary work such as high-yield cabochons, fine inlay, or custom gemstone carving.
