Small Lapis Pieces
1 Lb Small Afghanistan Lapis Lazuli Pieces
This is 1 pound of small pieces of rough Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan. They are all small pieces as you can get an idea of from the photos in the slide show. A few pieces have circular cuts to them, possibly where cores were drilled from the full stone, others are mostly flat, sliced pieces, some end pieces (one or two have a little polish on them, but that's rare). The natural coloring, wet, is NOT as bright as it looks in the photos. It is beautiful color, but a little darker overall. Most of the batch has calcite and/or pyrite throughout, with some pieces having more or less than others. Some pieces are not quite as nice as others. We do not do intarsia work, and we do not cut many small cabs, but we assume many or most of these would be suitable for either, though there may be some waste depending on how you use them. Hopefully, based on your needs, you would be able to judge from the photos, but please let us know if you have any questions or need more details before purchasing. Your selection will come from this batch, but not necessarily one of the specific pieces shown. We have a limited number of pieces available, and we also sell on eBay, so if you want more than 1 pound, please e-mail first.

[Another shot] [Same side, opposite direction] [Rough side] [Photo of the end of the stone]This slab of Lapis is sliced flat on one side, and mostly rough on the other. It is a nicely colored, high quality Lapis. It is sprinkled with calcite and a few tiny flecks of pyrite. It is 3" x 1 1/2" at its widest points and it tapers as you can get the idea from the last picture between about 3 and 13 mm. The weight is 359 carats, or 72 grams (2.5 ounces). Please note that the natural coloring is closer to but NOT as bright, as the main photo, while the other photos are poor representation of the actual color. I apologize for the drastic difference in color from each of these photos - they are all photos of the one piece.

It is just under 3" x 1-1 5/8" and tapers triangularly from a very thin edge up to 10-15 mm thick. It has 232 ct weight, or 46.5 grams (1.6 ounces).
