Beautiful deep blue cabochon of natural (undyed) lapis with pyrite sparkles. Originating from Afghanistan. Cut here.

An ideal beauty for all lovers of the bright blue color of the night sky... lapis lazuli, as a blue representative, is classified in the areas of intuition but also learning and concentration, which is certainly suitable as a moral support for all students, distracted people, and people who are working on themselves spiritually. In addition to all these pleasant properties, it is a handsome stone, very popular for thousands of years. It was most famous for jewelry and gems from ancient Egypt. Pharaohs of all dynasties adorned themselves with it.

Even today, the highest quality ultramarine pigment is produced from lapis lazuli (by grinding it into a fine powder), as a component of oil or other more expensive artistic paints. (However, there is no need to worry that it would dissolve in water or somehow color itself, it definitely does not :-)
