AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We take great pride in offering you the finest gemstones and minerals. This Lapis Lazuli sculpture stands out for its unique shape and color.
Dimensions and weight: 22x17x11cm - 5.3kg
Lapis Lazuli is among the oldest known gemstones, revered in ancient cultures such as Egypt, Mexico, and the Near East as a sacred stone. Egyptians considered Lapis Lazuli one of the most precious gifts they could give to their departed pharaohs. It was also known as the 'Stone of Kings' and treasured by figures like Cleopatra and Napoleon. Lapis Lazuli is not only significant as a gemstone and healing stone but also played a vital role as a pigment due to its vibrant and lightfast azure blue color. During the Renaissance, the value of its pigment was nearly as high as that of gold.
The Lapis Lazuli sculpture presented here is unique and distinctive in its color and texture. It has been carefully crafted to enhance its natural beauty.
Origin: Sare-Sang Valley, Badakhshan, Afghanistan
