Lapis Lazuli Rough (Dogtooth Formation Structural Habit)

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this 302g unpolished specimen offers a raw look into the heart of the earth. The fine-grained lazurite matrix exhibits a deep, saturated indigo-to-ultramarine core, showing off the stone's true texture before any lapidary alteration.

What makes this specific piece a true collector's curiosity is its highly specialized, sharply texturized surface topography. The specimen features an attractive, elongated silhouette measuring 11.1 cm by 7.5 cm across, heavily dominated by steep, angular, triangular ridges and pointed stone peaks. This rare morphological growth structurally mirrors the classic scalenohedral "dogtooth calcite" habit, giving it an intensely jagged, three-dimensional architectural shape.

With a robust 4.0 cm depth, this thick, blocky profile gives it an incredible three-dimensional volume and a heavy, satisfying visual weight from every angle. Across its sharp, raw surfaces, veins of brilliant metallic golden Pyrite and pathways of white calcite are dynamically exposed in their natural state, accentuating the dramatic, rugged mountain-like landscape of the piece. It serves as an ideal piece for collectors who appreciate highly structural, unrefined mineral aesthetics or curious geological growth formations.
