Description from the seller
This Lapis Lazuli object boasts excellent quality, featuring a vivid blue color with a shimmer of pyrite. With a length of 42cm and a thickness of only 3cm, it is exceptionally aesthetic. Overall, it's a remarkable piece and a standout in any collection. The wooden base is included.
Weight and Dimensions: 8kg - 42x20x3cm.
Lapis Lazulis are among the oldest known gemstones, revered as a sacred stone 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. Not only significant as jewelry and a healing stone, lapis also played a vital role as a pigment due to its vibrant and light-resistant azure blue color.
Origin: Sare-Sang Valley, Badakhshan, Afghanistan.
Location: Sare-Sang Tal, Badachshan, Afghanistan
