144 Gram Rough Lapis Lazuli Stone with Golden Pyrite 

This is a natural 144-gram single rough lapis lazuli stone with beautiful golden pyrite inclusions. The stone shows a rich navy blue colour and originates from Afghanistan, a world-renowned source of fine lapis lazuli. It has opaque clarity and is completely natural with no treatment. This authentic rough lapis lazuli piece is ideal for lapidary work, carving, collection, or decorative use due to its deep colour and natural pyrite beauty.

White spots (calcite) in lapis lazuli, like in the 144-gram navy blue stone from Afghanistan described above, are natural and not necessarily bad. Natural golden pyrite flecks are desirable, and a moderate amount evenly distributed enhances the beauty of the stone without overpowering the deep blue colour.
