Description
~ Lapis lazuli cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of lapis lazuli, which hails from Afganistan. This stone features deep rich royal blue coloration with a scattering of shiny metallic pyrite and sprinkles of calcite for contrast. The photos may make it appear grainy, but it isn't at all. And the excellent blue color appears a bit washed out, while in hand, it's richer & deeper blue than illustrated. My personal preference is silver for setting deep blue lapis like this, but no doubt the contrast with bright gold would look splendidly rich too. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a graceful designer shape, and a gleaming polish both front and back.

Size: 42x25mm
Weight: approximately 37 carats
