550g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary high-altitude deposits of Badakhshan, this 550g 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 virtually untouched by the heavy white calcite veins that often compromise lower-grade blocks.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts a rare, beautifully balanced square face measuring 9.8 cm by 9.8 cm. Across these 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 highly generous 5.0 cm thickness, this piece forms a solid, chunky block rather than a flat slab. It commands an outstanding three-dimensional presence on a collector's shelf and serves as premium, deep stock for master lapidaries creating custom carvings, spheres, or luxury gemstone inlay work.
