Quality of available Lapis Lazuli
Afghanistan Lapis lazuli is known for its unique, deep blue color and golden specks of pyrite, which give it a luxurious look. The quality of lapis lazuli is judged mainly by its color and the presence of pyrite and calcite. Afghan lapis generally falls into three categories:
- High-quality lapis lazuli – This is the most prized type, with an intense, uniform blue color and minimal white calcite. It often contains fine, evenly spread golden pyrite specks, which add beauty without distracting from the blue color.
- Medium-quality lapis lazuli – This type has a blue color but may show some white calcite streaks or patches. The pyrite may be more scattered or uneven. It is still beautiful and valuable but not as pure as high-quality lapis.
- Low-quality lapis lazuli – This type is lighter in color, with noticeable white calcite and fewer pyrite specks. It is less expensive and often used in decorative items rather than high-end jewelry.
Afghan lapis is preferred worldwide because of its rich color and beautiful patterns. The high-quality stones are especially sought after for fine jewelry, art, and ornamentation. Afghan lapis is also popular in spiritual practices, as many believe it brings peace, clarity, and protection.
