Big Natural Lapis Lazuli Sphere
Weight 1.682 kg approx
Measurement 99 mm approx
Origin Afghanistan
This is a natural lapis lazuli sphere from Afghanistan, known for producing the finest deep-blue lapis in the world.
Lapis forms when limestone undergoes metamorphism, allowing minerals like lazurite, pyrite and calcite to grow together. The rich blue colour comes from sulphur within lazurite, while pyrite adds natural golden sparkle.
This polished sphere shows beautiful natural colour and patterning, making it ideal for collectors, décor, or crystal display.
