9.30 Ct. Lapis from Afghanistan

Imagine presenting a piece of the deep heavens to someone you love, a gem that carries the timeless intensity of midnight skies and sunlit gold, a stone that creates a memory that will be cherished forever. This beautiful cushion shape blue lapis weighs 9.30 carats and measures 17.74 x 9.82 x 4.97 mm, and its tablet cut gives it a modern, elegant profile that sits smoothly and confidently in a ring or pendant. The color is vivid and arresting, a pure saturated blue that speaks of oceans and royalty, and the excellent polish makes the surface sing with soft reflections that draw the eye. This lapis is opaque and natural, with no enhancement, and its origin in Afghanistan links it to the most respected sources for fine lapis, a heritage that collectors and lovers of natural gems will immediately appreciate.

As a gem specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I can tell you that this piece is ideal for someone who wants a wearable statement that is both romantic and grounded. The tablet cut emphasizes the rich blue while allowing the warm, golden pyrite accents to peek through, like laughter caught in a midnight conversation. Its substantial 9.30 carat weight gives it presence without overwhelming, and the cushion silhouette brings soft, timeless charm to modern designs. Imagine it set in a simple gold bezel to let the color speak, or embraced by a halo of diamonds for a moment that takes every breath away. Because it is untreated and naturally sourced from Afghanistan it carries authenticity and soul, qualities that make a gift more than an object, but a lasting expression of care.
