A superb lapis lazuli sphere of extra quality with golden pyrite and white calcite inclusions that evoke a globe seen from space.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A splendid sphere in Lapis Lazuli, with beautiful golden and white veining from Pyrite and Calcite.
The wavy movement created by these inclusions and the lighter veins of Lapis Lazuli gives the impression of observing the globe from space, where the play of light created by Pyrite resembles lightning, Calcite the clouds, and Lapis Lazuli the oceans.
A specimen of very high quality, with an intense blue color.
Lapis lazuli is a stone historically used for making jewelry or ornaments, widely employed by the Egyptian people to adorn tombs, pyramids, or the accessories of the Pharaoh.
This natural stone can be used to enrich your mineral collection or as a decorative element placed on an elegant desk.

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space.

All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
