This is a beautifully hand-cut Lapis Lazuli cabochon weighing 6.60 carats, shaped into a sleek elongated kite/lozenge/rhomboid cut. The material comes from high-grade Afghan lapis, known for its rich saturation and even color. This piece shows a vibrant royal ultramarine blue, clean throughout with no visible calcite and no pyrite—perfect for modern jewelry designs.
