Lapis Lazuli Faceted Rondelle stones are slightly waxy in luster, gems show a metallic pyrite inclusion with a creamy white calcite internal characteristic, gem bodies are an opaque strongly violetish blue hue of a moderately dark saturation, gems have visible external matrix, gems are inconsistent for tone and quality on the strand, gems have a symmetrical shape, and these Lapis Lazuli show a fairly smooth polish.
