lapis lazuli for short, is a deep-blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color. Originating from the Persian word for the gem, lāžward,[1] lapis lazuli is a rock composed primarily of the minerals lazurite, pyrite and calcite. As early as the 7th millennium BC, lapis lazuli was mined in the Sar-i Sang mines,[2] in Shortugai, and in other mines in Badakhshan province in modern northeast Afghanistan.[3] Lapis lazuli artifacts, dated to 7570 BC, have been found at Bhirrana, which is the oldest site of Indus Valley civilisation.[4] Lapis was highly valued by the Indus Valley Civilisation (7570–1900 BC).[4][5][6] Lapis beads have been found at Neolithic burials in Mehrgarh, the Caucasus, and as far away as Mauritania.[7] It was used in the funeral mask of Tutankhamun

Sar-e-Sang is a region located in the central Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan, near the border with Tajikistan. The area is located in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan, which is in the northeastern part of the country.

Sar-e-Sang is a remote and mountainous area that can only be accessed by rugged and difficult terrain, which has contributed to its isolation and difficulty in developing its mining industry. The region is known for its deposits of lapis lazuli, which have been mined there for thousands of years.

Despite the challenges, the Afghan government and international organizations are working to develop the mining industry in Sar-e-Sang, in order to create jobs and generate income for the local communities. The lapis lazuli from Sar-e-Sang is highly prized for its intense blue color and is exported to markets around the world.
