Collection: Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli, often simply referred to as lapis, is a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense blue color. It is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of lazurite, along with other minerals such as calcite and pyrite. Its unique ultramarine hue has made it a staple in jewelry and decorative arts for thousands of years. Lapis Lazuli was also ground into powder and used as a pigment for paint during the Renaissance period. This stone holds a significant place in many cultures due to its symbolic associations with royalty, honor, wisdom, and truth. Today, it continues to be sought after in the art, jewelry, and metaphysical communities.
