  • 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 the price is excellent
  • 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
