All photos are taken without any filters or enhancements. Lapis lazuli is among the oldest known gemstones, revered as a sacred stone in ancient cultures such as Egypt, Mexico, and the Eastern kingdoms. Among the Egyptians, lapis lazuli was considered the most precious gem to be included in the burial gifts for their Pharaohs. Known as the "Stone of Kings," Cleopatra recognized the virtues and powers of lapis lazuli, and even Napoleon carried this protective stone with him. Its significance extends beyond jewelry and healing properties; lapis lazuli played a vital role as a pigment due to its vibrant and lightfast azure blue color. During the Renaissance, its value was comparable to that of gold.
The lapis lazuli is crafted here in the form of sculptures/objects, ensuring each piece is unique with variations in color and texture.
Origin: Sare-Sang Valley, Badakhshan, Afghanistan.
