Crushed Royal Blue Lapis Lazuli (Grade AA) from Afghanistan, Medium Crush, Sand Size, 2mm - 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 has slightly more calcite than our Lapis AAA. You can also find our premium quality Lapis Lazuli (Grade AAA) here:
