Description from the seller
Lapis Lazuli Sphere – First Selection — This splendid Lapis Lazuli sphere comes from top-quality blocks, selected for the intensity and solidity of the color. The surface is distinguished by a royal blue, deep and uniform, a feature that testifies to the high concentration of lazurite, the mineral responsible for the blue tones and ultramarine that have made this stone famous since ancient times. Small golden inclusions of pyrite create a sparkling effect, while light white veins of calcite add movement and naturalness to the chromatic composition. Each section of the sphere shows a harmonious balance between the solidity of the blue and mineral details, making it a refined and unique piece. Lapis Lazuli has been known since the time of the pharaohs: it was ground into powder to obtain the precious ultramarine blue pigment used by medieval and Renaissance painters and miniaturists. It is a stone symbolic of wisdom, royalty, and spiritual connection, considered a bringer of mental clarity and inner balance. This sphere, an ornamental element, ideal for enriching a collection of precious minerals or as a standout element in a meditative, artistic, or representative space.
