Corded Rope Lapis Lazuli Slab Necklace
Lapis lazuli is a deep blue metamorphic rock prized since antiquity for its vibrant color, golden pyrite inclusions, and use in art and jewelry.
- Ancient civilizations: Valued for over 6,500 years, it was mined in Afghanistan and used by ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks for amulets, seals, and royal ornaments.
- Ultramarine pigment: Ground lapis lazuli was processed to create ultramarine, a brilliant blue paint pigment used by Renaissance masters and historical painters.
- Modern uses: Today, it is cut into cabochons, beads, and carved into ornamental objects or set into rings and bracelets.
**Each stone is unique and may vary slightly in color, pattern, and appearance due to the natural characteristics of the material.**
