Rough Lapis Lazuli Mine 4 Specimen – Badakhshan, Afghanistan
This raw Lapis Lazuli specimen weighs 700 grams and comes from Mine 4, Badakhshan, Afghanistan, offered in its natural, unpolished state. Its near-square silhouette, measuring 11.0 x 10.0 x 4.5 cm, gives it a wide, broad face rather than a narrow or elongated form, and its flat base allows it to stand upright on its own without a mount or stand.
Mineral Composition and Color
The specimen carries a deep, saturated indigo-to-ultramarine core, with metallic golden Pyrite veins and pathways of white Calcite exposed across its raw, textured surface. These minerals naturally occur alongside Lazurite in Lapis Lazuli deposits and remain fully visible here in their unaltered state.
Display and Lapidary Use
At 700 grams with a broad, self-standing form, this Mine 4 Lapis Lazuli specimen suits a gallery shelf or exhibition case where its wide face can be appreciated at a glance. Its raw, uncut form also makes it usable as material for lapidary artists working with rough stone in larger cutting yields. Each piece from Premier Fine Minerals ships with locality documentation confirming its Afghan origin.
