Badakhshan (Badakshan; Badahsan) Province, Afghanistan A wonderfully sharp and finely-articulated crystal of lazurite, sitting right up on the marble matrix and exposed all around (unlike many specimens that are substantially buried in the matrix). A superb representative mini for this species! 5.0 x 4.9 x 3.2 cm |

Badakhshan (Badakshan; Badahsan) Province, Afghanistan Lazurite (also called lapis lazuli) rarely is found in large, perfectly-formed CRYSTALS such as this. The 3.4-cm crystal is complete and undamaged all around, and trimmed out perfectly on the contrasting matrix. This specimen is just so unusually sharp and fine. 5 x 5 x 3.4 cm |

Badakhshan (Badakshan; Badahsan) Province, Afghanistan Transparent lustrous crystals of lazurite in a vug. A vug was filled with elemental sulfur (and it was dissolved in hot toluene).
