Lazurite Lapis Lazuli Blue Crystals with Pyrite in marble
Dimensions (mm): 80 x 50 x 30
Dimensions (inches): 3.1 x 2 x 1.2
Origins: Sar-E-Sang, Afghanistan
Lazurite is commonly known as lapis lazuli and though lapis lazuli is common from the mines of Afghanistan the crystals are quite rare. Did you know that the lapis lazuli found in the pharaoh's tombs is from the same mining complex that is in production today? Also one of the items that sent Marco Polo out wandering was lapis lazuli. A wonderful stone with a rich history.
