AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This very sculptural Top Quality Lapis Lazuli freeform sculpture is a striking piece of natural art — carved from rare Old Mine Lapis, known for its deep, saturated royal blue color and rich natural texture. Unlike the commercial-grade lapis commonly found today, this specimen displays a pure and intense blue hue with minimal calcite and subtle golden pyrite specks — a true hallmark of its Old Mine origin.
The mine from which this Lapis was sourced ceased production several years ago, making stones of this caliber extremely hard to find. The natural form of this sculpture gives it a dynamic and expressive silhouette — each angle revealing new depths of blue and subtle patterns of white and gold.
This is not just a mineral specimen — it’s a collector’s statement piece, perfect for elegant interior display, energy alignment, or as part of a high-end mineral collection.
