Lapis Lazuli and Hubei Turquoise and 925 Sterling Silver Pendant from Vaughn Nagel. Signed VN *chain sold separately  Width: 25mm Length: 120mm Lapis lazuli, also known simply as "lapis," is a blue metamorphic rock that has been used by people as a gemstone, sculpting material, pigment, and ornamental material for thousands of years. High quality lapis lazuli can be a costly gem. The most desirable specimens have a rich, solid blue color and perhaps a few reflective pieces of gold pyrite. Unlike most other gem materials, lapis lazuli is not a mineral. Instead, it is a rock composed of multiple minerals. The blue color of lapis lazuli is mainly derived from the presence of lazurite, a blue silicate mineral of the sodalite group with a chemical composition of (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(S,Cl,SO4,OH)2. 🔳 🔳  🔳 [NYS Taxes Are Included In All Pricing] {Shipping Charges Will Be Calculated At Checkout} *small flat rate box suggested*
