Description
~ Lapis lazuli cab ~

Offered here is a lapis lazuli cab cut by my son Chris a while back, which hails from Afganistan. This superb material is just wonderful to work with, and features deep, dark royal blue coloration, with a few speckles of shiny metallic pyrite and white inclusions of calcite. 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 nicely rounded dome of 6mm, a designer 'fan' shape, and it is well polished both front and back.

Size: 42x31mm
Weight: approximately 47 carats
