Lapis Lazuli – Page 3 – Tresors Sydney

Lapis Lazuli

This ancient rock is an aggregate of several minerals. The three major minerals that comprise Lapis are Lazurite, calcite and pyrite. Lazurite is the ingredient responsible for producing the gem’s most prized colour: bright royal blue.
Historians believe the link between humans and Lapis Lazuli stretches back more than 6,500 years. The gem was treasured by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome. For thousands of years, lapis has been fashioned to show off its rich, dark colour.
Typically, Lapis used in jewellery has been cut into cabochons, beads, inlays, and tablets. But Lapis Lazuli’s use has never been limited to jewellery alone. Throughout its history,it has been fashioned into practical objects, hair combs, and amulets. 
Today, Lapis Lazuli is frequently fashioned into freeform and nature-themed sculptures, including wearable art, others are purely decorative.
