The blue ranges from royal to midnight, and the gold specks catch the light against it, giving each piece a rich, painterly surface. Smooth and palm-sized, the Lapis Lazuli has a substantial, classic feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLapis Lazuli is traditionally associated with intuition, inner wisdom, and clear truthful expression, long regarded as a stone of insight. People commonly keep it on a desk, hold it during study or reflection, or place it where focused, honest communication is wanted. Its deep blue and gold have carried prestige and meaning across cultures for thousands of years, making the Lapis Lazuli a meaningful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Lapis Lazuli is natural and one of a kind, varying in the depth of its blue, the amount of gold pyrite, and the pattern of white calcite from stone to stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Intuition \u0026amp; Spiritual Awareness\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Clarity \u0026amp; Focus\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Third Eye, Throat\u003cbr\u003eBirthstone: September\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Sagittarius, Capricorn\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Snake, Ox\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Jupiter\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air, Water\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 5-6\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Metamorphic Rock\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Lapis Lazuli\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Afghanistan\u003cbr\u003eForm: Tumbled\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 20-40 mm (0.8-1.6 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: Single Stone, 100 g or 1 lb (454 g bulk quantity)\u003cbr\u003eListing: Sold individually or by weight, 100 g or 454 g as selected\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLapis Lazuli is a rock rather than a single mineral, composed primarily of lazurite, calcite, and pyrite, with a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6. The deep blue comes from lazurite, the white veining from calcite, and the gold flecks from pyrite. Significant imitation exists, with dyed jasper, dyed howlite, sodalite, and glass all sold as lapis, and wax or polymer impregnation is common for lower-grade material. The Afghan Sar-e-Sang deposit has been mined for over 6000 years, one of the longest continuously worked mining sites in human history, and ground lapis produced ultramarine, the most valuable blue pigment in medieval and Renaissance art, costing more than gold and used by Vermeer, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Sources include Afghanistan, Chile, and Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.

Handle it gently, store it apart from harder stones, and wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuturaSol","offers":[{"title":"Single Stone (1 piece - approx 14 g)","offer_id":47544621957350,"sku":"30501001-1PC-AS-A3-A23","price":3.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g (approx 5-8 stones)","offer_id":47544621990118,"sku":"30501001-100G-AS-A3-A23","price":18.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb (454 g bulk quantity)","offer_id":47544622022886,"sku":"30501001-1LB-AS-A3-A23","price":56.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/7200\/5350\/files\/Untitleddesign_7.jpg?v=1781539166","url":"https:\/\/auturasol.com\/products\/tumbled-stones-lapis-lazuli-aaa-20-40-mm","provider":"AuturaSol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
