A gift of mother earth, a dark blue colored stone with golden flakes is the perfect definition of Lapis Lazuli. This is a Latin word which stands for “blue stone”. Use of this stone in jewelry, decoration, art and healing is not new. Egyptians artist used it in their art on walls a long time ago. Turquoise is used as a best combination with this stone in jewelry.

Since the start, Afghanistan has been a big source for this stone, the oldest mines are located in the western Hindu-Kush Mountains in Afghanistan. India, Italy, Burma, Pakistan, Canada, in America and a few other countries have been sources for raw material of lapis lazuli but still the quality of rough from Afghanistan is the most fabulous and famous. “The Owl” approx 1 kg piece of rough in top color of lapis is very famous.

Demand of lapis has been consistent for many years and a lot of material is available in different mines but top quality Afghani mines material is high in demand and availability is low so prices are hiking 3-4 times for Afghan Lapis because of that.

HOW TO JUDGE THE BEST QUALITY LAPIS GEMSTONES

If we talk in depth about chemical composition of this ancient gem, it is a combination of calcite, lazurite and pyrite minerals and a small amount of diopside, feldspar and mica.  The amount of calcite, pyrite and other minerals always is different in different pieces of rough and that percentage decides the quality. For example if any piece of rough has more white calcite and the color is pale then it will be low quality. Complete blue with slight violet tone with no white calcite is said to be the best color of this gem. Sometimes our buyers get confused about the visibility of golden pyrites or flecks, is it good or not? Well if golden pyrite comes with white calcite then it diminishes the beauty of gemstone and price for this quality will be lower. In the case of golden pyrite coming with royal violetish blue color (top quality) then it increases the value of the stone.
