This breathtaking sculpture presents a detailed underwater world scene, hand-carved from natural Lapis Lazuli and shaped into a rich marine composition featuring fish, turtles, jellyfish and coral formations. The entire scene flows together in a dynamic and harmonious design. The stone displays the beloved blue color of Lapis Lazuli, beautifully contrasted by large areas of white to grey calcite, forming natural reef-like textures throughout the carving. Delicate golden pyrite inclusions sparkle subtly across the surface, adding brilliance and confirming the natural origin of the stone. These natural mineral features make every angle of the sculpture visually engaging and completely unique. Carving such a complex multi-figure scene from a single block of stone requires both exceptional raw material and outstanding craftsmanship. Each fish scale, turtle shell, flowing jellyfish tentacle and coral structure has been individually shaped by hand, resulting in a highly detailed and layered sculpture that rewards close inspection from every side. Large Lapis Lazuli carvings of this size and artistic complexity are rare, especially when the natural color patterns enhance the theme of the artwork so perfectly. This piece is not only a decorative object, but a true collector’s artwork in gemstone, ideal for galleries, modern interiors, and serious mineral collectors. Lapis Lazuli has been treasured for thousands of years as a stone of wisdom, truth and protection, and when combined with the symbolism of ocean life, this sculpture represents harmony, abundance and the beauty of nature. -Carved from natural Lapis Lazuli with calcite & pyrite inclusions -Detailed underwater scene with fish, turtles, jellyfish and corals -Rich royal blue color with dramatic natural contrasts -Large, complex multi-figure hand carving -Rare collector’s and display masterpiece -One-of-a-kind natural stone artwork
