Collection: LAPIS LAZULI

Lapis lazuli is a deep blue metamorphic rock prized for its rich color, often flecked with golden pyrite that gives it a starry appearance. It forms in limestone deposits that are transformed under high heat and pressure deep within the Earth, with its intense blue color mainly coming from the mineral lazurite. Historically, it has been highly valued since ancient times, especially in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and later Europe, where it was used for jewelry, seals, carvings, and even ground into pigment for ultramarine paint. It is strongly associated with luxury craftsmanship and ancient artistic traditions.
