About the stone

Lapis Lazuli is an intense blue stone, often with pyrite inclusions that give it golden flecks. It has been used since ancient times for making jewelry and creating ultramarine pigment.

Being porous and relatively soft, it requires extra care. It should be kept away from chemicals, hot water, and sudden impacts.
