About the Item
Add a touch of mineral brilliance and timeless elegance to your interior with this striking pair of lapis lazuli obelisks, carved from stone with a deep, vibrant blue enhanced by delicate golden highlights. The lapis lazuli comes from the Badakhshan region of Afghanistan, one of the most renowned sources in the world, mined since antiquity.
Each obelisk stands approximately 45 cm (17.71 in.) tall and is set on a stepped square base. The clean, architectural design emphasizes the natural beauty of the stone: a rich ultramarine blue, naturally flecked with golden pyrite and occasional white calcite veins.
Ideal for a console, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, these pieces bring color, character, and sophistication to any space. A perfect choice for lovers of natural minerals and collectors of distinctive decorative objects.
