The blue on this piece is deep and rich, and the Pyrite inclusions are exceptionally clear and bright — sharp metallic gold against the royal blue matrix, exactly what you want from fine Afghan Lapis. One piece, sold as seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock rather than a single mineral, formed when limestone is transformed by intense heat and pressure in contact with igneous intrusions. Its colour comes primarily from Lazurite, a sodalite-group mineral, and the gold flecks are natural Pyrite — iron sulphide — that crystallises within the matrix during metamorphism. The white veining, where present, is Calcite. The Madani mines in Afghanistan have been producing Lapis Lazuli for over 6,000 years and remain the source of the finest material in the world, prized for its intense, saturated blue and well-distributed Pyrite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong associated with royalty, truth, and wisdom, Lapis Lazuli resonates with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, supporting clear communication, self-expression, and deeper intuitive awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madani mines, Afghanistan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal meaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Truth, wisdom, clarity, communication\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater cleanse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not recommended.
