Awesome Large Chunk of Top Afghan Lapis that will cut some spectacular cabs or make a phenomenal carving!! Most of this is Top Quality AA to AB grade material with the larger portion being a Royal Blue to an almost Purplish Blue with some specs of Pyrite! This material does contain some minor Calcite; however, it is almost totally concentrated on the exterior and shouldn't interfere in the cutting process. This is some of the best material we have offered on an E-Newsletter in over a year and we are working on sourcing a regular supply in the coming months of varying qualities. If you are interested in purchasing Lapis in volume please feel free to email us directly for pricing.

This material is fairly uniform lacking the excessive white and pyrite inclusions common in the market. If you look around and compare prices you will see this is a bargain not to be missed!

1. Afghanistan is the oldest known source of Lapis and is the only country in the world that has produced a consistent supply of high grade lapis for over 1,000 years!

2. We have mine direct links for this rough for those that are interested in purchasing this in bulk in quality.
