Product Description
Here is an exceptional, large Lapis Lazuli freeform sculpture. The deep blue faces on each side are absolutely breathtaking.
This gorgeous blue gemstone has been sought after by different cultures around the world for over 7,000 years. Mined in Badakhshan in northeastern Afghanistan, this Lapis has been hand polished to show the beautiful blue color with shimmering bands of sparking pyrite (iron sulphide) with streaks of white calcite.
In the past, Lapis was ground up to make the blue pigment ultramarine. Renaissance painters used this highly sought after and very expensive pigment for robes of the Virgin Mary and dazzling sky scenes.
