This brilliant 18x13mm Lapis Lazuli (commonly called Lapis) stone in heavy sterling silver is accentuated by vintage antiquing. This is certainly a bold statement ring for a man or a woman!
Lapis is treasured for its beautiful deep blue color and golden Pyrite
inclusions. The size and patterns of these inclusions vary from a sprinkling to veining making the sought-after golden patterns in the gemstones.
It's believed the Lapis promote spiritual development, stimulate intellectual abilities, and activate the higher mind.
Fun Fact: Vincent Van Gogh could not have painted one of his best works without this wonderful blue rock. During the Renaissance and earlier, ground Lapis was used as a paint pigment known as ultramarine. Van Gogh used ultramarine to paint "The Starry Night" in 1889, one of his most recognized masterpieces.
Lapis Lazuli is a Biblical stone mentioned in Exodus, Job, Isaiah, and Ezekial.
