There are two basic sources for Lapis. Chile and Afghanistan. Lapis from Chile tends to have white clouds but Afghani Lapis tends to have gold flecks coming from the pyrite in the stone. It is considered the best in the world.
Prized for thousands of years, the Egyptians used it in their jewelry often for it’s bright blue color. They also ground it to powder and combined it with egg white to use as paint. They mixed it with Turquoise as well and is one of my favorite color combinations.
Measures approximately 18” without the length of the stone.
