Description from the seller
This extraordinary piece is hand-carved from a single solid block of Lapis Lazuli. At the heart of the scene lies an octopus, masterfully detailed and surrounded by a lively gathering of fish and turtles nestled among delicate corals.
The stone itself is a stunning display of nature's contrast—intense blue Lapis enriched with flowing grey calcite banding and shimmering flecks of pyrite, reminiscent of sunlight filtering through ocean waves.
Lapis Lazuli is known for its deep spiritual resonance. It is believed to enhance wisdom, truth, and inner peace—qualities associated with the ocean's timeless mystery. In many cultures, the octopus symbolizes intelligence, adaptability, and regeneration, while turtles bring longevity and protection, and fish represent abundance and prosperity.
Whether admired for its metaphysical meaning or displayed as a powerful decorative centerpiece, this sculpture embodies balance, depth, and grace.
