LAPIS AND STERLING SILVER. 2"drop.
Lapis Lazuli Is said to represent tenderness, sympathy and love.
A blue rock that is widely used as a semiprecious stone and for ornamental
purposes. It is composed chiefly of the deep blue mineral lazurite embedded
in a matrix of white calcite and usually also contains small specks of pyrite. It
occurs in only a few places in crystalline limestones as a contact metamorphic
mineral. The chief source is Afghanistan; lapis lazuli also occurs near Lake
Baikal in Siberia and in Chile. It was formerly used to make the artists'
pigment ultramarine.
