Blue lapis lazuli 55.73ct teardrop cabochon

A wide pear-shaped cabochon in deep royal blue, richly peppered with scattered golden pyrite inclusions that give it the characteristic starry sparkle lapis lazuli is prized for. The stone is notably broad, lending it an elegant teardrop silhouette with a polished, glassy surface finish.

Mined in Afghanistan, this lapis lazuli is entirely untreated, displaying its natural mineralogy. Its broad form and deep blue color make it a versatile choice for bespoke jewelry settings, wire wrapping, or a fine addition to a loose gemstone collection.
