Make the scones
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lime zest. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingers to release the citrus oils. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour to the zest sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Add butter pieces and cut in with two knives or a pastry cutter until most butter pieces are pea-sized. Mix in the chopped pistachios.
Make a well in the center and add the egg, vanilla, heavy cream and pistachio extract, if using. Mix just until combined.
Dump dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick disc. Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut into 8 segments.
Place on parchment lined baking trays. Brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
Bake for 23-25 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Make the glaze
Combine the heavy cream and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10-second bursts until melted together.
Add the powdered sugar, lime juice, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk until combined.
Spoon the glaze over the cooled scones and top with more lime zest, if desired.
