Lapis lazuli Freeform - Height: 14 cm - Width: 8 cm- 1800 g - (2)

Lapis lazuli is a deep blue semi-precious stone prized since antiquity for its vibrant color and association with royalty and spirituality. This freeform specimen, weighing approximately 1800 grams and measuring 14 by 8 centimeters, showcases the raw beauty of lapis lazuli beyond traditional polished stones or carved ornaments. Composed primarily of lazurite with inclusions of pyrite and calcite, lapis lazuli’s rich azure blue with metallic flecks of pyrite resembles stars in a night sky. Historically, lapis was ground to create ultramarine pigment used by Renaissance painters and worn as jewelry or carved into amulets and seals. Beyond its visual appeal, lapis lazuli embodies deep cultural and symbolic meaning across many civilizations, often associated with wisdom, truth, and protection. Freeform pieces allow collectors and lapidaries to appreciate its natural shape and unique patterns.
