Details: AMAZING Graduated natural Lapiz Lazuli slab beads. These are VERY UNUSUAL and the picture does nothing to show the natural luster of these fantastic gemstone slices.

The bottom surface is left satiny but smooth and the top surface is rough and sort of druzy finish with lots of pyrite inclusions. These are not too big or heavy to be made into earrings.

*************About Lapis Lazuli***************************


Lapis Lazluli is very hard to get now because of trade sanctions with Afganistan. These come from India. Lapis lazuli is a gemstone of the kind that might have come straight out of the Arabian Nights: a deep blue with golden inclusions of pyrites which shimmer like little stars. This opaque, deep blue gemstone has a grand past. It was among the first gemstones to be worn as jewellery and worked on. At excavations in the ancient centres of culture around the Mediterranean, archaeologists have again and again found among the grave furnishings decorative chains and figures made of lapis lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a versatile and popular gemstone which has shown extraordinary stability in the turbulent tides of fashion. No wonder, since it has fascinated both men and women for thousands of years with its fabulous colour and those golden points of light formed by pyrites.
