The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents an exquisite offering in the form of a captivating opaque 6.69 carat cushion-shaped purplish blue lapis. Originating from the storied regions of Afghanistan, this lapis lazuli stands out with its remarkable dimensions of 15.16 x 13.92 x 2.85 mm, showcasing the expertise of our master artisans. Our lapis is finely crafted with a specialized tablet cut, which is meticulously designed to enhance its visual appeal and bring out the depth of its unique purplish blue hue. This specific cutting style maximizes surface area, ensuring the lapis demonstrates a rich display of its unparalleled color intensity. The precise faceting crafted into this gemstone, combined with its remarkable polish, serves to highlight its most entrancing attributes in any setting or light condition.
The interplay between the gemstone's purplish blue color and its crystalline structure ensures that it captivates observers under various lighting conditions. In soft natural daylight, the lapis exhibits a soothing, tranquil appearance, revealing nuanced variations in its blue tones while retaining its opaque mystique. The hue remains constant yet reveals depth, offering a timeless elegance that reflects the exceptional clarity associated with the finest Afghanistan-origin gemstones. As the stone interacts with changes in ambient light, subtle shifts in color are perceptible, adding dimension to its appearance while still remaining faithful to its intense original hue.
In contrast, when exposed to artificial lighting, particularly halogen or LED lights, the lapis undergoes a transformation that highlights its depth and dimension. The light dances on its polished surface, accentuating the gemstone's expertly crafted tablet cut and its intensively polished finish, which mirror back the illumination in a striking manner. This shimmering effect is most notable during evening events or indoor displays, where the even lighting emphasizes the consistency and richness of the lapis's tone. Knowledgeable buyers and connoisseurs will appreciate the intricate craftsmanship delivered by The Natural Gemstone Company, as this lapis manifests a sophisticated splendor that commands attention, regardless of context or ambient conditions.
