Lapis Chip Necklace
A unique gemstone in that it is actually an amalgam of several different stones, including sodalite, the blue, calcite, the white, and pyrite, the flecks of gold, among others. The ratio of these three main components determines the quality of the lapis. The deep blue of lapis can border on violet and is particularly stunning with white, grey and as a contrast to pastels.
Lapis has been valued throughout history as a mystical link to powerful sources of knowledge and wisdom. The higher grades of this stone have been highly prized by royalty.
