1050g Royal Blue Rough Lapis Lazuli – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Sourced directly from the legendary deposits of Badakhshan, this monumental 1,050g rough specimen represents the absolute peak of royal blue color purity. The fine-grained, premium lazurite matrix carries an incredibly deep, uniform blue tone that remains remarkably consistent throughout the stone, completely untouched by the heavy white calcite veins that often compromise larger, lower-grade blocks.

Kept entirely in its natural, unpolished state, the specimen boasts an expansive surface face measuring 12.5 cm by 10.5 cm. What makes this particular block truly extraordinary is its massive 7.5 cm thickness, giving it an imposing, blocky, nearly cubic architecture that commands an outstanding three-dimensional presence on a collector's shelf. Across these deep raw surfaces, a stunning constellation of bright, metallic golden Pyrite clusters and fine, shimmering veins catches the light beautifully as the stone is turned, evoking a classic "starry night" aesthetic. For master lapidaries, this uncommonly thick geometry provides massive volumetric depth and absolute creative freedom for heavy custom carvings, large flawless spheres, or luxury gemstone inlay work.
