Sophisticated lapis and Sterling Silver
Lapis is a semi-precious gemstone that is prized for its deep blue color and golden flecks. It is an opaque stone composed mainly of lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. Lapis has been used since antiquity in jewelry and art. It is believed to bring protection, wisdom, and courage to the wearer. The source of lapis is mostly from Afghanistan, where it has been mined for over 6,000 years. It is also found in other countries such as Chile, Russia, and the United States. Lapis is usually a deep blue color, but can also be found in shades of green, white, and yellow. It is often used for inlays because of its unique color and texture. Lapis is said to have many healing properties, such as aiding in relaxation, increasing intuition, and relieving depression. It is also believed to help protect the wearer from negative energies. Lapis has been used for centuries in jewelry and art. It is often seen in Egyptian and Persian art, and was used in Ancient Rome as a sign of rank and honor.
