The beautifully drawn lapis lazuli balls are between 45 and 50cm in size. Each ball is unique in its combination with blue Lapis, Pyrite and Calcite.
Lapis lazuli is applied in gemmology to strengthen the themes of truth, sincerity, sociability and friendship.
Origin of the raw material: Afghanistan
The name Lapis Lazuli is derived from the Latin words "lapis" (stone) and lazulum (blue). Different spellings such as lapis lazuli, lapis lazuli or lapis lazuli are not correct. Due to the long fame of lapis lazuli, there are numerous synonyms. These include azure d'acre, azurum ultramarinum, bleu d'azure, lapis lazuli ultramarine, lazure stone/lazure stone, lazurium, oltremare, oriental blue, outremer lapis, pierre d'azure, ultramarine genuine, ultramarine ino/verdadero, ultramarine natural scythium. Lapis Lazuli was used in ancient Egypt in the death masks of pharaohs; therefore, the dark blue stone is also called pharaoh stone.
