KI-gestützte Zusammenfassung
Vom Verkäufer bereitgestellte Beschreibung
This exceptional Lapis Lazuli sphere is crafted from jewelry-grade material sourced from an old, highly prized deposit—the type of material that is increasingly rare in today’s market. Its surface displays a vivid, royal blue tone with natural pyrite accents and subtle white marbling, creating the classic, unmistakable appearance of high-quality Lapis.
The sphere is polished to a smooth, reflective finish, highlighting the depth and saturation of the stone. Pieces of this quality typically originate from older veins where the color was richer, more stable, and more uniform—before the most sought-after deposits became depleted.
Features
-Jewelry-grade Lapis Lazuli
-Sourced from a historic, old deposit
-Deep royal blue color with bright pyrite inclusions
-Excellent polish and spherical symmetry
-Highly collectible quality
Lapis Lazuli has been valued for over 7,000 years, with the most renowned deposits historically located in the mountains of Afghanistan. This material was traded along the ancient Silk Road and used by Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Persian civilizations.
In ancient Egypt, Lapis was considered a stone of protection and divine connection, often carved into amulets, scarabs, and ceremonial objects. During the Renaissance, finely ground Lapis was transformed into ultramarine pigment, the most expensive blue paint in the world—reserved for royalty, sacred art, and masterpieces by artists such as Michelangelo and Vermeer.
Collectors prize old-deposit Lapis for its rich ultramarine blue color, minimal calcite veining, and naturally occurring metallic pyrite that resembles a starry night sky.
Lapis Lazuli is widely known as a stone of:
-Truth and wisdom – believed to open the mind and enhance clarity
-Inner vision and intuition – associated with the Third Eye chakra
-Protection and personal power – historically worn by kings, healers, and scholars
-Emotional balance – said to promote self-awareness and honest communication
-Its strong, stabilizing energy is often used for meditation, personal development, and creating a sense of grounded confidence.
