A Truly Magnificent Lapis Lazuli Carving
An exceptional lapis lazuli stone, mined, cut and polished in Afghanistan.
Some of the world's finest lapis lazuli comes from the Sar-i Sang mines in Afghanistan's Kuran Wa Munjan District.
Locals refer to Sar-i Sang as Mahdani Lojward, which means 'lapis lazuli mines' in Dari, a modern dialect of Persian spoken in parts of Afghanistan.
This beautifully polished lapis lazuli stone is the finest quality available. It’s a truly magnificent piece.
