The finest lapis lazuli originates from the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan, where mines have operated for over 6,000 years. Other sources include Chile, Russia, and Pakistan, though Afghan lapis remains the standard for deep blue color.
Clean lapis with a soft dry cloth and store it separate from harder gemstones. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and chemical solutions, as lapis rates 5-6 on the Mohs scale and can scratch or absorb liquids.
