Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

An Authentic Chunk of Pure Afghan Lazurite Sourced directly from the legendary high-altitude pockets of Badakhshan, this 94g rough specimen boasts an intense royal blue coloration. This vivid, deep blue tone is the defining characteristic of top-grade Lapis Lazuli, showing excellent purity with minimal white calcite patches to disrupt the rich face of the stone.

Left completely unpolished, the raw surfaces highlight a beautiful constellation of shimmering metallic Pyrite flecks. These golden inclusions are scattered evenly across the dense blue backdrop, creating a classic "starry night" aesthetic that looks incredible under display lights. Measuring over 5 cm in both length and width with a robust 3.0 cm thickness, this blocky specimen sits perfectly on a shelf and serves as an ideal size for either a collection display or custom lapidary cutting.
