When evaluating quality grades for lapis lazuli, look for a deep navy blue colour, like the 169-gram Afghanistan stone described above, with even colour distribution and natural golden pyrite inclusions. The stone should have opaque clarity and minimal white calcite spots. Stones with these features are considered higher quality and more valuable.
