Lapis Lazuli Stone - Magnificent Colour
This finely polished, AAA-grade lapis lazuli cabochon boasts an exceptional deep blue colour.
It has the smoothest texture and reflects light beautifully. The tiny specs of the mineral pyrite are more concentrated on one side than the other.
It was cut from material mined in Afghanistan.
It stands comfortably on its side, so can be displayed and turned without falling.
Although it could be used to create a stunning piece of jewellery, due to its grade, it would make the perfect addition to any collection of rocks, minerals, or gemstones.
The finest lapis lazuli comes from Sar-i-Sang in the Badakhshan Province of northeastern Afghanistan.
