Lapis Lazuli is an affordable alternative September birthstone to sapphire. Lapis Lazuli beads, carvings, and jewelry have been found by archeologists at numerous sites dating as far back to 6000 BCE. Ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome treasured this gem. The eyebrows and eyelids on the Mask of Tutankhamun are inlaid with lapis lazuli. Many Jewish scholars believe the Ten Commandments were written on lapis lazuli, in contrary to blue sapphire as traditionally believed. Lapis Lazuli is also responsible for the blue pigments of timeless Renaissance period paintings. Lapis Lazuli symbolizes wisdom and love.
Lapis Lazuli is a rock primarily composed of three minerals:
- Lazurite, which gives the stone its royal blue color.
- Pyrite, which is responsible for its sparkling hints of gold.
- Calcite which causes its white flecks.
Due to the natural origin of this stone colors may vary. Please remember photos typically do not do gems justice.
