Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli is the deep blue stone flecked with gold-coloured pyrite, mined for thousands of years and once ground into the pigment ultramarine. Ours comes as tumbles, raw hearts, small points, bead bracelets and a chip tree in a glass pot, with other forms passing through as they arrive. In folklore it is the stone of truth and clear speaking; we sell it because the colour is like nothing else on the shelf. Free pickup in Kaiapoi or NZ-wide courier.
