Lapis Lazuli
Intense ultramarine blue, often dusted with gold-colored pyrite. Lapis Lazuli is associated with Afghanistan, Chile, and Russia, and carries a royal, artistic, unmistakably ancient presence. Traditionally it is linked with clarity, intuition, confidence, and spiritual growth.
For centuries lapis lazuli was ground to make natural ultramarine, once one of the most expensive blue pigments in European painting.
