Lapis Lazuli Top Quality - Free Form - Sculpture - XL Object - 27.8kg - Interior Decoration - Natural Stone - Height: 530 mm - Width: 340 mm- 27.8 kg - (1)

We specialize in offering you the highest quality at all times. Our Lapis sculpture boasts excellent quality and is 100% natural. As seen in the photos, it features a beautiful intense denim blue tone with very attractive pyrite and calcite veins. This object is perfect for any collection and serves as a standout decoration. Dimensions: Weight: 27.8 kg Size: 53x34x13 cm All photos were taken without any filters or enhancements. Lapis lazuli is among the oldest known gemstones, revered as a sacred stone in ancient cultures such as those of Egypt, Mexico, and the Eastern realms. Among the Egyptians, it was considered the most precious gem to be buried with Pharaohs as part of their funerary offerings. Lapis Lazuli is often referred to as the "Stone of Kings." Cleopatra valued its benefits and powers, and even Napoleon carried this protective stone with him. Its significance extends beyond being a gemstone or healing stone; its luminous and light-resistant azure blue color made it a prized pigment. During the Renaissance, its value was comparable to that of gold. These Lapis Lazuli sculptures and objects are crafted to enhance their natural beauty. As each stone is unique, variations in color and texture may occur. Origin: Sare-Sang Valley, Badakhshan, Afghanistan. #winterchalet
