Crushed Royal Blue Lapis Lazuli (Grade AA) from Afghanistan, Fine Crush, Powder Size, <0.25mm

▏ABOUT ⧫ LAPIS LAZULI AA▕

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 high-quality lapis (grade AA) is from Afghanistan and has a very deep, royal-blue color. This material darkens and deepens when the stone is wet - it is absolutely gorgeous and will give your projects that special "pop"! 

Our Lapis AA powder has slightly more calcite and is less saturated in color compared to our Lapis AAA. You can also find our premium quality Lapis Lazuli powder (Grade AAA) here:

▏MATERIAL ⧫ SIZE▕

Our powdered material consists of mostly silt and clay sized particles (<0.25mm). Our powders do have a slight grit to them. Powdered minerals are great for filling in small cracks or voids, orgonite pyramids, resin molds, memorial and resin jewelry, ring inlay, resin art, and creating textured paints and pigments. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies or reiki practitioners that enjoy top quality crystal powders.
