3.8" Polished Lapis Lazuli Heart - Pakistan
This is a 3.8" wide lapis lazuli specimen with streaks of sparkling pyrite running throughout. It has been sculpted into the shape of a heart and polished to a glossy finish. This vibrant blue stone was mined from Northern Pakistan.
Lapis lazuli is unlike most other gem materials because it is not actually a mineral. Instead, it is a rock composed of multiple minerals. Lapis lazuli's striking blue color is mainly derived from the presence of lazurite. To be called "lapis lazuli," a rock must have a distinctly blue color and contain at least 25% blue lazurite. Pyrite usually occurs in lapis lazuli as tiny, randomly spaced grains colored a contrasting gold.
