6.85 Ct. Lapis from Afghanistan

There are jewels that simply speak to the heart, and this opaque blue lapis of 6.85 carat is one of those rare stones that makes you stop and smile. Hand cut in a graceful cushion shape, this tablet cut gem measures 19.09 x 16.96 x 1.86 mm, presenting a broad, luminous surface that invites touch and admiration. Originating from the storied mines of Afghanistan, its deep celestial blue is complemented by soft golden flecks that catch the light like memories scattered across a midnight sky. The polish is excellent, allowing the stone to glow with a smooth, calming presence, and because this lapis has no enhancement, you can trust that every nuance of color and texture is the pure result of nature and masterful lapidary work. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish stones that carry both beauty and authenticity, and this lapis is a living example of that promise.

Imagine this tablet cut cushion resting in a custom setting that highlights its wide, reflective plane. The svelte 1.86 mm thickness gives it a modern, elegant profile while the generous 19.09 x 16.96 mm face allows the blue and pyrite to read boldly from across a room. This makes the gem perfect for a statement pendant that draws the eye and stirs conversation, or for a pair of bespoke cufflinks that impart a gentle confidence to a final touch of tailored attire. Collectors will appreciate the balance between size and presence, and designers will love how the tablet cut reads under different lights, holding its intensity and charm without overwhelming the composition. Presented as a gift, it becomes a promise of enduring beauty, a token that carries warmth and care through years and generations.

There is a deep emotional pleasure in owning a stone that is both honest and exquisite. The absence of enhancement means that every facet, every inclusion, and every shade of blue tells a natural story from the mountains of Afghanistan to your hands. For the discerning collector assembling a high end gemstone collection, this lapis offers a combination of rarity, provenance, and aesthetic versatility that is hard to find. Pair it with warm yellow gold to accentuate the golden flecks, or let cool white metals frame the blue for a crisp, contemporary look. Because the polish is excellent, the surface reads like glass, offering a tactile joy when handled, and a visual calm when set on display. At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe that every exceptional gemstone should be experienced, not just examined, and this lapis invites that experience with an open, generous beauty.

Owning this 6.85 carat cushion shape blue lapis is more than a purchase, it is the beginning of a story you will want to tell again and again. The dimensions of 19.09 x 16.96 x 1.86 mm make it a versatile centerpiece, the tablet cut highlights its natural character, and the fact that it has no enhancement preserves its integrity for future generations.
