About Lapis Lazuli
Anniversary: 9th
True love is hard to find, and so is the finest lapis lazuli. This captivating blue stone has been treasured for over 6,000 years, with the premier source located in the remote mountains of Afghanistan's Badakshan province, buried at elevations reaching 17,000 feet. These ancient mines, operating since 700 BCE, represent the world's oldest known commercial gemstone sources and continue to produce the most prized specimens today.
Lapis lazuli is actually an aggregate rock composed of several minerals, with the deep blue lazurite providing its signature color, often speckled with golden pyrite that resembles stars in a midnight sky. Ancient civilizations from Egypt to Mesopotamia prized lapis lazuli above gold, using it in royal burial masks, jewelry, and even grinding it into ultramarine pigment for the most precious artworks. The most valued specimens show intense, uniform blue color with minimal white calcite veining and just enough pyrite to add celestial sparkle. Its rich history and cosmic appearance make lapis lazuli perfect for pieces that celebrate wisdom, truth, and connection to ancient traditions.
