Polished Lapis Lazuli Free-Form
Afghanistan
5.13 x 4.55 x 2.77 inches (13.02 x 11.56 x 7.03 cm)

This striking specimen of Lapis Lazuli has been expertly shaped into a bold, geometric form reminiscent of interlocking blocks. The deep royal blue of the stone is accented by natural bands of Calcite and subtle flecks of golden Pyrite, creating a vivid interplay of color and texture across each plane. Highly polished surfaces catch the light beautifully, while the angular composition lends a sense of balance and modern sculptural appeal. The contrast between the cool, celestial blue and the metallic inclusions gives the piece a captivating, almost architectural presence. This unique Lapis Lazuli carving combines natural beauty with contemporary elegance, making it a standout addition for any fine mineral collection or interior décor.
