Description from the seller

A striking large freeform sculpture carved from natural lapis lazuli, displaying an intense royal blue color with beautiful golden pyrite inclusions and subtle white calcite veining.

This piece has been expertly polished to a high gloss, enhancing the natural patterns and depth of the stone. The sculptural freeform shape gives it a modern, elegant appearance, making it ideal as a decorative object for interiors, offices, or collectors of fine minerals.
Dimensions : 20 x 13.2 x4.5 cm

The deep ultramarine blue contrasts beautifully with the shimmering pyrite flecks, often referred to as “fool’s gold,” which are naturally embedded throughout the stone. The organic white veining adds further character and authenticity.
