2.77 Ct. Lapis from Afghanistan

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we pride ourselves on offering gemstones of exceptional quality, and our 2.77 carat cushion-shaped blue lapis from Afghanistan is a prime example of our commitment to excellence. With dimensions of 12.13 x 10.21 x 2.21 mm, this gemstone is notably distinct for its vivid color intensity and excellent polish. Reflecting the historical and cultural richness of its origin, this lapis is a testament to the unrivaled quality of Afghan gemstones, which have been celebrated for centuries for their vibrancy and depth of color. Known for its unique composition, the opaque lapis lazuli combines deep blue hues with flecks of golden pyrite, offering aesthetic qualities that quickly catch the eye of any discerning buyer.

The lapis lazuli stone, unlike transparent gemstones such as sapphires or topazes, is celebrated for its opaque beauty. This particular stone showcases a tablet cut which enhances its surface area, allowing its deep, rich blue to shine brilliantly. The exquisite polish achieved through careful craftsmanship reflects light in a way that accentuates its color's richness. Compared to transparent gemstones, lapis dazzles the viewer with a subtler, more mesmerizing luminescence due to its composition. Its reflective qualities, although not sparkling in the conventional sense, offer a deep glow which is distinctively different and endlessly captivating. Opaque gemstones like our blue lapis attract those who seek depth, historical allure, and a sophisticated essence that transforms when light dances upon its surface.

Historically, lapis has been revered not only for its unique beauty but also for symbolic value. In ancient cultures, lapis was often used in jewelry for nobility, owing to its royal blue coloration that symbolizes wisdom, truth, and power. The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to present this piece with both a remarkable hue and profound historical significance, ensuring that such a gemstone doesn’t merely serve as an aesthetic ornament but also as a storyteller of ancient traditions and rich culture. The weight of tradition meets modern excellence in this blue lapis, and purchasing such a unique piece is tantamount to acquiring a piece of history, intimately linking the past with the present.

In comparison to other gemstones within its category, lapis particularly stands out due to its durability and versatility. The tablet cut of this lapis further enhances its ability to be integrated into versatile jewelry designs, from statement rings to unique necklaces. Despite not reflecting as much light as other polished stones, lapis lazuli represents an artisanal touch and a depth of artistry which is prized by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts around the globe. Our specific 2.77 carat blue lapis offers an intriguing option for those seeking to expand their jewelry collection with a piece that’s not just rich in color, but also in cultural significance.
