AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent natural Lapis Lazuli sphere, expertly polished to a high-gloss finish and displaying beautiful flowing bands of intense cobalt-blue lapis contrasted by white calcite streaks and scattered metallic pyrite inclusions.
The sphere exhibits a distinctive layered pattern rarely seen in standard lapis specimens, creating a highly decorative appearance from every angle. Its exceptional size and weight make it suitable as a statement piece for mineral collections, luxury interiors, galleries, offices, or feng shui displays.
The stone has been polished to reveal the natural beauty and complexity of the material while preserving its authentic geological character.
Condition
Very good condition with natural inclusions and characteristics consistent with genuine Lapis Lazuli.
Seller's Story
Circle Seven Jewels | Purifying Souls
I specialize in natural gemstones, crystals, and mineral specimens, carefully sourced from trusted locations around the world—including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Brazil, Madagascar, and Africa.
Many of my finest pieces come directly from my family’s private mine in Afghanistan, originally established by my father. This legacy gives me access to exceptional and high-quality mineral formations that are rarely available on the open market.
My collection includes authentic Kunzite, Tourmaline, Lapis Lazuli, Aquamarine, Spessartine, Peridot, and other rare minerals, each hand-selected with geological knowledge, experience, and passion.
As an active participant in international gem and mineral exhibitions across Europe, the United States, Japan, and China, I am committed to offering collectors and enthusiasts only genuine, ethically sourced natural specimens.
Every listing is prepared with transparency, accuracy, and professional care to ensure the highest standards of authenticity and complete buyer satisfaction.
