Lapis Lazulis are among the oldest known gemstones, revered as sacred stones in ancient cultures such as Egypt, Mexico, and the Eastern empires. Among the Egyptians, the gemstone was considered the most precious offering they could provide to their deceased pharaohs as part of their burial rites. The Lapis Lazuli gemstone is also known as the stone of kings. Cleopatra appreciated the virtues and powers of Lapis Lazuli, and Napoleon always carried the protective stone with him. Not only significant as jewelry and a healing stone, Lapis Lazuli also played a vital role as a pigment due to its vibrant and light-resistant azure blue color. During the Renaissance, the value of the pigment was equivalent to that of gold. The Lapis Lazuli is crafted here in the form of spheres/eggs. As each stone is unique, there may be variations in color and texture. Origin: Sare-Sang Valley, Badakhshan, Afghanistan.
