萨雷散格
Badakhshan, Afghanistan
位于阿富汗巴达赫尚的萨雷散格,是世界上最古老、最著名的青金石产地,开采已逾六千年。
What it is known for
The Sar-e-Sang marbles host deep-blue lapis lazuli (rich in lazurite), often flecked with golden pyrite and white calcite — the material prized since antiquity.
What collectors look for
Intensely blue lapis with even colour and attractive pyrite flecking is the prize; crystallised lazurite is a collector rarity.
