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

When you first see this exquisitely matched pair from The Natural Gemstone Company you feel a quiet pull, a sudden remembering of deep evening skies and moments that linger long after they pass, these are cushion shaped purplish blue lapis of true presence, weighing 4.95 carats and 4.85 carats respectively, each measuring 14.13 x 12.20 x 2.62 mm, cut in a tasteful tablet style to emphasize their broad, calm surfaces. The color is vivid and immediate, a rich purplish blue that stops conversation and invites touch, the polish is excellent so the surface catches light with a soft luster rather than sharp glare, and because these stones are completely untreated, their beauty is entirely natural. Origin matters with gems, and these lapis arrive to you from Afghanistan, a historic and respected source, which adds a layer of story to each stone and a sense of provenance that transforms them from pretty objects into heirlooms waiting to be made.

As you hold them in your hands you notice how their opacity gives them a depth that seems to hold small memories, the surface whispering with subtle variations and occasional golden flecks that play like distant stars against the deep blue, these are qualities collectors and sentimental buyers cherish. The vivid color intensity means that these stones will read clearly in settings that are designed to showcase color, whether set in warm gold to deepen their glow or in cool platinum to create striking contrast, their tablet cut and cushion outline give them an elegant, organic silhouette that flatters the hand and the heart. Choosing this matched pair is like choosing a shared memory, they are balanced in weight and dimension so that when made into earrings or a companion pendant they sit in harmonious symmetry, and because there is no enhancement at all you are gifting or keeping a truth that will not fade.
