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

This matched pair of cushion shape blue lapis offers a rare combination of size, color and surface presence that immediately answers the search for a striking statement earring component. Each stone weighs 3.54 carats, with individual dimensions of 12.14 x 10.06 x 2.67 mm and 12.16 x 10.22 x 2.58 mm, presented in a tablet cut that emphasizes a broad, modern face. Opaque in body, with an excellent polish and no enhancement, these lapis stones come from Afghanistan and retain their natural character and integrity. The color intensity is not applicable in traditional graded terms, because the rich, even blue in these pieces reads as an intense and consistent hue across the large tablet surfaces, while scattered pyrite like flecks add a couture level shimmer that plays beautifully against warm metals. This is a truly matched pair, cut and finished to sit perfectly as earrings where symmetry and surface continuity matter.

For designers and clients seeking a definitive high fashion statement, these lapis cushions are the solution, and your search ends here with The Natural Gemstone Company. Their tablet cut and low profile make them ideal for bold stud earrings, elegant drops with sleek bezels, or dramatic asymmetric couture designs where the stone itself must speak loudest.

Because they are untreated and of known Afghan origin, these gems satisfy collectors and discerning clients who prioritize authenticity and provenance as much as aesthetic impact. If you are creating runway looks, bespoke bridal pieces that favor color and presence over classical sparkle, or limited edition collections that demand a statement, these lapis cushions are the perfect foundation.
