AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
First Choice Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan — An obelisk carved from lapis lazuli of exquisite quality, etched with clean lines and harmonious proportions. Lapis lazuli, a precious stone valued since ancient times for its deep blue hue speckled with gold pyrite inclusions, was a symbol of royalty and protection in Mesopotamia and Egypt, used for amulets, seals and ornaments destined for the elite. The obelisk’s shape, linked to sunlight and the connection between earth and sky, adds further meaning to this piece: a union between mineral energy and spiritual aspiration. A sculpture that blends the allure of geology with the evocative power of eternal symbols.
