These were loaded with pyrite. Don't know if that makes a difference or not. The Lapis slab was from Afghanistan. Thanks for looking.

Nicely done cabachon. I've always liked lapis in any grade.

Lapis is one of my favorites! That looks like some of the denim grade. Chili has lapis also but theirs seems to be much lighter in color. I like the deeper bright blues that you get from the Afghanistan stuff. Fran

i also like lapis....... some of the stuff with a lot of quartz and pyrite in is is called "denim lapis". like most softer stones, it's easy to overcook it, but nice when you get it right.

Nice job. What wheel or ? are you using for the final polish? My lapis never gets the polish I expect.

Can't go wrong with lapis. I love all I get. That looks like fun stuff and gave you some fine cabs. T

Those are gorgeous! I also love it when there is plenty of the silver in it.

Very appealing. I like the denim lapis - looks really nice when made up into jewelry. Well, actually all the lapis looks good when mounted.
