Description from the seller

First image: Taken dry under natural light, showing the stone’s matte surface and natural color tones without enhancement.
• Second image: Taken wet under natural light, which enhances the colors and details. Water makes the surface appear more vibrant and brings out deeper hues, similar to how it might look when polished or used in art/jewelry. Or as a Decoration piece

Lazurite is a richly colored blue mineral primarily seen in cabochon gems or carvings. Lazurite is a major component of lapis lazuli, giving the stone its brilliant blue color. Lazurite crystals are rare, as the gem is most commonly found in massive form and rarely as well-formed crystals.
We specialize in always offering you the best quality and special Lapis. As can be seen in the photos, this Lapis Freeform is a special eye-catcher because it has a special aesthetic shape and has a very good quality.

Highlight in every collection. Lapis lazulis are among the oldest known gemstones that have already been appreciated as a sacred stone in the ancient cultures of Egypt, Mexico and the empires of the East. Thus, among the Egyptians, the gemstone was considered the most precious thing they could give to their dead pharaohs as a burial gift.
