Discover this exceptional piece of Natural Rough Lapis Lazuli, weighing a significant 1300 carats (approximately 260 grams or 9.17 ounces). This specimen is designated AAA Grade, the highest quality available, guaranteeing an intense, deep Royal Blue color that is uniform and highly saturated.
Sourced directly from the world-famous mines in Badakhshan, Afghanistan, this rough stone is ideal for creating truly premium finished pieces. While it is predominantly deep blue, expect the natural occurrence of fine, shimmering Golden Pyrite flecks—the hallmark of authentic, high-grade Afghan Lapis. Crucially, AAA grade material will have minimal to no distracting white Calcite marbling.
