Description
- Natural 8mm round Lapis Lazuli beads on 16-inch strands
- These are a nice royal blue, although with quite a bit of white calcite inclusion, but that's one way to tell they are natural - and the overall effect is more blue than it looks in the photo
- The color is actually perfect for denim, and can't beat the price
- Beloved in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, Greeks and Romans used lapis as a reward for bravery.
- From the Middle Ages until 1828, was used as pigment to produce the rare and expensive “aquamarine” pigment used in Renaissance paintings
- It’s the birthstone for Virgo and December
- Metaphysical: Lapis is known as the stone for spiritual seekers, and students.
- Care: Avoid abrasion, harsh chemicals and ultra-sonic or steam cleaning
