AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This intense color Lapis Lazuli Sphere is a breathtaking example of nature’s artistry — a harmonious blend of deep royal blue, white calcite streaks, and golden pyrite inclusions. The contrast of colors gives this sphere a planetary appearance, almost resembling Earth viewed from space.
Sourced from Afghanistan’s renowned Lapis mines, this piece embodies the ancient beauty and cultural significance that has made Lapis Lazuli one of history’s most treasured stones — used in pharaohs’ jewelry, Renaissance paintings, and sacred spiritual artifacts.
The sphere’s highly polished surface reveals a vivid and natural pattern, making it a standout centerpiece for collectors, designers, and lovers of fine minerals.
Under light, the pyrite veins sparkle subtly, while the calcite adds depth and visual motion, creating a captivating 3D effect.
Metaphysical Aspect
Lapis Lazuli is said to be the Stone of Wisdom and Truth, enhancing inner vision, clarity, and spiritual awareness. It is believed to promote harmony between the mind and heart, making it a favorite for meditation and personal empowerment.
