Crushed Lapis Lazuli (Grade A) from Afghanistan, Medium Crush, Sand Size, 2mm - 0.25mm

ABOUT LAPIS LAZULI A

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 blue color that is mixed with dark royal blue and white hues. This material darkens and deepens when the stone is wet or sealed - 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 25-40% calcite and 60-75% lazurite.

MATERIAL SIZE

Our medium material is considered to be sand sized (very coarse sand to fine sand), ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters. This size is great for most woodworking inlays, memorial and resin jewelry, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, mosaics, terrariums, bezel cups, resin art, embellishments, and metaphysical projects. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies or reiki practitioners that enjoy top quality stones.
