Product description

Introducing one of the finest pieces from The Natural Gemstone Company, a truly exquisite opaque 3.42 carat cushion-shaped blue lapis lazuli, whose dimensions are 10.22 x 8.11 x 5.31 mm. This remarkable gemstone hails from the storied mines of Afghanistan, a region known for producing some of the most sought-after lapis lazuli in the world. Its majestic blue hue is beautifully accentuated by a vivid color intensity, a testament to its superior quality and value. Our lapis features a cabochon cut, enhancing its structure and ensuring a smooth, glossy surface with an excellent polish that caters to both collectors and aficionados alike.

The opulence of this lapis lies in its unique composition and the precision of its cut. The cabochon cut of this gemstone showcases its opaque quality while maximizing its inherent luster. Unlike faceted stones, the cabochon style allows the smooth, rounded surface of the lapis to display a glamour that is both subtle and striking. The choice of the cabochon cut coupled with the natural inclusion patterns often found in lapis lazuli amplifies its depth and richness. This creates a captivating play of light that gently glides over the gemstone’s surface, giving it a luxurious appeal. Such a feature not only differentiates this gemstone but adds an unmatched sparkle that appeals to the educated buyer who values history and quality.

Embedded within the rich visage of this lapis are minute flecks of golden pyrite which, when viewed under a gentle light, add a subtle brilliance. The significance of its origin in Afghanistan cannot be understated as this region's lapis lazuli is historically celebrated for its rich color and quality. For collectors seeking authenticity and provenance, this piece offers a remarkable blend of factors that make it particularly rare and valuable. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to offer this exquisite lapis, confident that its exceptional quality and unique brilliance will enchant those who appreciate the finest gemstones.
