Crushed Lapis Lazuli Chips (Grade A) from Afghanistan, Coarse Crush, Gravel Size, 4mm - 2mm

Lapis lazuli is a rock that is composed of three important minerals: 1) lazurite (royal blue), 2) calcite (white), and 3) pyrite (metallic gold). This lapis (grade A) is from Afghanistan and has a very deep, royal-blue color that is mixed with dark blue and white hues. This material darkens and deepens when the stone is wet - it is absolutely gorgeous and will give your projects that special "pop", while still being affordable. 

Our lapis lazuli A has more calcite (white) than our crushed Lapis AA or AAA products, with approximately 25-35% calcite and 65-75% lazurite.

MATERIAL SIZE

Our crushed coarse material is considered to be pea-sized gravel, ranging between 4 millimeters to 2 millimeters. This size is great for decorating candles, embellishment designs, orgone pyramids, large woodworking voids, resin art, and metaphysical projects. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies or reiki practitioners that enjoy top quality stones.
