Lapis Lazuli Diamond Shape Pendant set in 925 Sterling Silver

This superb sterling silver Lapis Lazuli Diamond Shape Pendant, has the 925 hallmark. This classic, timeless design with a ‘ethereal’ blue Lapis Lazuli cabochon looks gorgeous. Lapis Lazuli is a beautiful and iconic semi-precious stone from North Eastern Afghanistan. The mines in the remote Kokcha valley have been producing Lapis Lazuli for 6000 years. These mines have produced 95% of all the Lapis Lazuli that has ever been produced. From Afghanistan it was transported on the ancient silk route to markets in Europe and North Africa.

Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock containing lazurite. It also frequently contains specks of calcite and iron pyrites. These specks of sparkling pyrite represent the stars and planets. While the deep blue of Lapis Lazuli represented the celestial night sky. The name ‘Lapis’ derives from Latin word lapis meaning stone. While the word ‘Lazuli’ derives from the Persian word lazhward meaning blue.

Metaphysically, a highly protective stone that can rapidly reduce stress. This is a stone that can encourage creativity. Additionally one that can bond relationships in love and friendship. Healers use this stone to lower blood pressure and also to boost the immune system. It is a stone to stimulate wisdom, and the desire for knowledge. It is also a stone that can help with expressing emotions and feelings.
