13.19 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Lapis Pair from Afghanistan

There are moments when a gemstone arrives that feels less like an object and more like an invitation to ownership of something rare. This exquisite matching pair of blue lapiss from The Natural Gemstone Company is exactly such a discovery. Each stone is boldly proportioned, weighing 6.95 carats and 6.24 carats respectively, and fashioned into a graceful cushion shape that offers a modern silhouette with a timeless appeal. The dimensions are substantial, measuring 18.21 by 16.06 by 2.14 millimeters for the larger piece, and 18.20 by 16.09 by 1.83 millimeters for the companion stone, which together maintain a harmonious balance for matched jewelry. The tablet cut enhances the stone plane in a way that celebrates the vivid color intensity, creating an even, deep blue presence that reads as both powerful and refined. These lapiss are opaque, which is a hallmark of the finest material for this variety, and they display an excellent polish that catches light across the surface in a soft, uniform glow. Importantly, these gems are untreated, with no enhancement, and they originate from Afghanistan, a source respected for producing some of the most desirable lapiss in private collections and bespoke jewelry commissions. Owning this pair places you among a discerning few who appreciate authenticity, provenance, and the rare pleasure of natural color.

When you examine these stones, you will notice the kind of natural character that seasoned collectors and designers prize. The cushion outline lends itself to elegant and wearable creations, while the tablet cut preserves the stone’s color saturation and ensures that the surface reads consistently across each piece. The vivid color intensity is a signature feature, presenting a saturated blue that can anchor a design or take center stage in a minimalist setting. The excellent polish is not merely cosmetic, it is the final promise of craftsmanship, a smooth, tactile finish that invites touch and that will sit comfortably against the skin when set into fine earrings, a pendant, cufflinks, or a bespoke bracelet. Because they are closely matched yet individually unique, this pair is perfectly suited to designs that celebrate subtle asymmetry or to creations that emphasize precise pairing, such as a high end set of matched earrings. Their opaque nature also makes them ideal for secure bezel settings that both protect and showcase the stone, while allowing the color to remain the principal voice of the design.

Pieces of this quality, with these dimensions and characteristics, are seldom offered more than once. The Natural Gemstone Company sources material directly and carefully, and this pair represents a limited opportunity to acquire unenhanced Afghan lapiss in matched form. For collectors this is an opportunity to add a statement pair that will retain desirability, for designers this is a rare chance to create a signature piece that will be singular in the marketplace, and for patrons of bespoke jewelry this is an invitation to own something that cannot be replicated. We can provide additional photographs, exacting measurements, and independent verification upon request, and we are happy to discuss setting options that will best protect and present these stones. If you are ready to take the next step, contact The Natural Gemstone Company to arrange a private viewing or to reserve this pair, because when a natural matched set of this caliber becomes available, the window for acquisition is narrow, and those who move decisively secure an heirloom quality that will be cherished for generations.
