Lapis Lazuli drop earrings

Lapis Lazuli

Double Lapis Lazuli gemstones wire wrapped to a crystal to add shine. Paired with sterling silver ear hooks. 

*Lapis is a beautiful rock; an aggregate of several minerals, mainly Lazurite, Calcite, and Pyrite.
*Lazurite is the ingredient responsible for producing the gem’s most prized color—bright royal blue.
*Glitter: Golden flecks of Pyrite create a sparkle in Lapis Lazuli.
*Ancient: Lapis was treasured by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome.
*Renaissance painters used lapis to make “ultramarine” blue, an expensive pigment of unrivaled brightness and stability.
