FAQs about Natural Blue Lapis Lazuli Stones
How to distinguish dark blue lapis lazuli stones from dyed or treated stones?
Natural rough lapis lazuli, like the stones in this parcel, displays a rich dark blue color with natural golden pyrite specks and minimal white calcite. Dyed or treated lapis often looks unnaturally bright or has uneven coloring that fades over time. Since Folkmarketgems is offering a lot that is 100% untreated, every piece reflects its authentic Afghan origin quality.
What factors affect the value and grading of lapis lazuli stones in bulk purchase?
The value of natural rough lapis lazuli is determined by the richness and uniformity of the blue color, presence of golden pyrite (considered desirable), and the amount of white calcite (less is more valuable). Size and consistency also influence grading, with cleaner, deeper blue stones commanding higher prices. This lot of lapis is a high quality rough parcel with uniform color.
What is the price range for Afghan rough blue lapis lazuli stones based on grade and size?
Pricing depends on quality, size range, color, and bulk quantity purchased. Smaller mixed-size parcels (under 1 gram to 10 grams+) are more economical, while parcels with top-grade larger stones of intense dark blue fetch higher prices. Bulk wholesale deals from 1 KG to 20 KG, like this lot, provide a solid gemstone investment opportunity.
