Deep royal blue with subtle golden pyrite flecks. Sourced from Afghanistan, one of the oldest and most prized sources of lapis lazuli, this stone has been used for thousands of years in carvings, jewelry, and pigment. Its intense color is due to the mineral lazurite, which dominates the composition of high-grade material like this.
