Lapis Lazuli, "Stone of Heaven"
These 12mm gemstone leaf beads of natural blue Afghani lapis lazuli
allow interesting possibilities for jewelry design! White calcite
occurring naturally in the lapis of these carved leaves keeps the
color a brighter blue. Beautiful with white pearls!
You will receive four 12mm carved leaf beads very similar
to the sample leaves we photographed, drilled lengthwise,
shipped in a clear gem box as shown.
For more than 2000 years, artists treasured Lapis Lazuli as a
natural pigment, producing the deep blue paint known as
ultramarine blue. Lapis arrived in Egypt over the trade routes
from Afghanistan, and Cleopatra ground it to a fine powder
to use as eye shadow!
