380g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

A Commanding Monument of Afghan Lazurite Sourced from the legendary high-altitude deposits of Badakhshan, which have supplied the world with its finest gemstone material since antiquity, this 380g rough specimen represents the absolute peak of royal blue color saturation. The heavy, solid matrix is composed of ultra-pure lazurite, displaying an intense and uniform deep blue face with virtually no white calcite contamination to break the color profile.

Left in its completely raw, unpolished state, the immense surface area reveals a magnificent constellation of metallic golden Pyrite veins and brilliant flakes. The glittering pyrite tracks weave naturally through the deep blue stone, creating a dramatic, high-contrast visual effect reminiscent of a stellar galaxy. Measuring 10.5 cm long with a robust, blocky depth of nearly 6 cm, this large specimen possesses an authoritative presence on any display shelf and offers an incredibly high yield for professional lapidary work, including luxury carvings, large spheres, or premium bookmatched slices.
