Shape: Cabochon
Transparency: Opaque

Laboratory Inspection and Genuine Testing

Real or fake? Pakistani buyers ask about this all the time. When we analyze this natural lapis lazuli 9.78ct blue specimen, we check physical density and surface structure under strong optics. First, place acetone on a cotton swab and rub the surface. Synthetic dyed stones bleed blue instantly; this untreated piece won’t shed a drop of color. Second, test the temperature. Natural rock feels ice-cold against your cheek, unlike plastic imitations that warm up immediately. Every piece leaves us as a certified gemstone with verifiable origin testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What affects the lapis lazuli stone price in Pakistan today?

The lapis lazuli stone price in pakistan depends entirely on color saturation and pyrite distribution. Commercial grades start around 300 PKR per carat, while top deep cobalt stones with fine gold flecks reach 1,500 PKR per carat. At GK Jewelers, we source direct from mine suppliers to keep rates fair.

How do experts tell real vs fake lapis lazuli apart?

Genuine stones show uneven internal flecks of metallic pyrite and small calcite streaks under magnification. Reconstituted or plastic copies display perfectly uniform color and melt when touched with a hot needle point. Real lapis stays completely unaffected by mild heat testing.

What spiritual and mental benefits of lapis lazuli stone exist?

In Islamic tradition, blue stones like Lajward are valued for bringing mental calm, focus, and clarity of thought. Astrologically, practitioners suggest wearing a Lajward ring on the middle finger of the right hand set in pure silver.
