Lapis Lazuli Pair
About this stone
Lapis has been mined in the mountains of Afghanistan for more than 6,000 years — the Egyptians inlaid it in the funerary mask of Tutankhamun, and Renaissance painters ground it into ultramarine, the most expensive blue pigment in the world. Its deep blue comes from the mineral lazurite, flecked with gold-colored pyrite. Traditionally it is associated with wisdom, truth, and intuition.
Details
Size: matched rectangular pair, 8.5 x 25 mm each
Weight: 18.5 ct total
Potential: earrings
