About the Item

We are delighted to present you with this incredible polished piece of Lapis Lazuli, a deep blue metamorphic rock often used in jewelry and decoration. The stone displays a vibrant mix of blue hues, interspersed with veins of white calcite and specks of golden pyrite, which are characteristic of high-quality Lapis Lazuli. The stone is mounted on a decorative gilded base. The natural beauty and unique patterning of this stone makes it a striking decorative piece that would enhance any space. This abstract sculpture, carved from deep blue lapis lazuli, is more than a decorative object — it is a conduit of spiritual energy. Known since antiquity as a stone of wisdom and celestial connection, lapis lazuli has been used by ancient cultures for protection, enlightenment, and enhancing one’s inner vision. Weight: 15,5 kg.
