1.4kg Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 1.4-kilogram 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 remarkably clean and virtually untouched by the heavy white calcite veins that often run through larger blocks.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts an expansive, commanding surface face measuring an impressive 20.5 cm in length by 12.0 cm across. Across these wide raw surfaces, a stunning constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite clusters and shimmering veins catches the light beautifully as the stone is turned, evoking a classic "starry night" aesthetic. With its substantial 4.0 cm thickness and strong, blocky shape, this piece commands an outstanding three-dimensional presence as a centerpiece on a collector's shelf and serves as highly efficient rough for master lapidaries creating large custom carvings, luxury gemstone inlay work, or bookmatched slabs.
