A remarkable large-scale natural Lapis Lazuli sphere, featuring an impressive deep royal-blue colour with striking natural grey-white calcite banding and flowing patterns throughout the polished surface. The contrasting layers create a unique visual effect that changes beautifully from different angles. The sphere has been expertly shaped and polished to achieve a smooth, glossy finish while preserving the natural character and distinctive patterning of the original stone. Its exceptional size and bold blue-and-calcite appearance make it a true statement piece for collectors, mineral enthusiasts, galleries, or luxury interiors. This is an impressive collector's specimen, particularly notable for its 35 cm diameter and substantial weight of 18 kg.
