Lapis Lazuli Cabochons

Lapis Lazuli Polished Gemstones

These lapis lazuli stones are a chunkier cabochon. They were cut from stone mined in Afghanistan.

The tops are highly polished and exhibit a vitreous lustre, the sides and bottom have been lightly polished but exhibit a dull lustre.

Most of the world's lapis lazuli, and certainly the finest grades come from the Sar-i-Sang mines in the Badakhshan Province of northeastern Afghanistan.
