Intense deep blue lapis lazuli with specks of natural gold pyrite throughout. These are high domed cabs; around 5.5mm thick. They are also hand-polished, so diameter actually varies from 10mm to 10.2mm, custom bezels are recommended. I pick through hundreds of cabs and only keep those that are consistent in color and pattern, so you can expect beautiful color and shine on each stone! The average piece weighs about 5 carats. You are getting 10 pieces per order.
These lapis lazuli beads are from Afghanistan. They are medium grad dark blue with visible specks of golden pyrite. The highest grade amongst lapis is royal blue( almost purple) with no signs of inclusion. Due to the popularity of imitate-lapis in the past, many people now prefer the medium quality with pyrite for its look of authenticity and character.
