AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A wonderful specimen of lapis lazuli with beautiful colors. Lapis lazuli naturally occurs together with pyrite and calcite, but in this case not only are the percentages of lazulite (the main mineral) particularly high, but the beauty of the piece also lies in the distribution of colors and in its shape.
An extremely interesting collectible piece that with its mystical properties can also contribute to our self-improvement, since it is considered a stone that increases faith, spirituality and clairvoyant abilities. In fact, in various ancient sacred texts it is regarded as a stone connected to priestly classes and to royal dynasties.
Dimensions: 180×120×100 mm
Weight: 2330 g
Origin: Afghanistan
