Lapis Lazuli- 6mm Rounds

It’s easy to see why lapis is believed to enhance creativity and aid in dreaming, it’s just so gorgeous! Lapis has been a treasured gemstone since antiquity. Originally mined in Afghanistan, Lapis is a combination of lazurite, calcite, sodalite and pyrite. During the Renaissance, the paint color, Ultramarine, was created by grinding the minerals to make that ultimate of blues!
