Lapis Lazuli For Sale
Lapis Lazuli, or just Lapis, is a stone with a beautiful deep blue color. The best grade, known as AA or AAA grade, comes from Afghanistan. These specimens are a deep dark blue with little to no white calcite. Pyrite also grows with lapis, adding a sprinkling of gold which stands out nicely against the royal or indigo blue. Chilean lapis has a tendency to have more white calcite with it, which makes for a lovely contrast of colors. Lapis has been used for centuries in jewelry and in the breast plates of high priests. It was used by the ancient Egyptians. It is even ground for a pigment color by fine artists. It is known as a stone of communication, encouraging one to speak their universal truth.
