Description from the seller
This impressive Lapis Lazuli sphere captivates with its deep ocean-blue color and soft white calcite spots, reminiscent of clouds floating above the sea.
Carved from a rare and old deposit, this piece represents a superior quality of Lapis Lazuli that is not commercially common. Unlike the mass-produced varieties, its intense color and harmonious pattern mark it as a collector’s piece of distinction.
Every detail of this sphere — from the deep ultramarine tones to the subtle interplay of light and stone — tells the story of ancient craftsmanship and natural artistry. Historically, Lapis Lazuli was treasured by Egyptian pharaohs, Mesopotamian kings, and Renaissance artists, often ground into the legendary ultramarine pigment used in sacred art.
Metaphysically, Lapis Lazuli is considered a stone of truth and wisdom, fostering clarity, intuition, and self-expression. Its powerful yet calm energy makes it a perfect centerpiece for meditation, interior design, or any gemstone collection.
Origin: Afghanistan
Material: 100% natural Lapis Lazuli
High collector’s grade
Polished sphere
Symbolism: Wisdom · Intuition · Harmony
