Description from the seller
A refined example of high-quality lapis lazuli, selected for the purity of its deep, uniform blue color, adorned with fine light veins and small golden sparks of pyrite. The polished surface enhances the depth and brightness of the mineral, highlighting its natural and timeless beauty. The slab is presented suspended on a minimal brass structure, giving it a light and elegant appearance, almost floating in space. The support with a dark wood base completes the piece, creating a refined contrast that further enhances the intensity of ultramarine blue. An object that combines contemporary design with natural authenticity, perfect both as an exclusive decorative element and as a collector's piece. This slab of lapis lazuli, a mineralogical specimen and suspended sculpture, has the power to bring the energy and majesty of one of the most beloved and symbolic stones in history into any environment.
