Here at Jewelry By Seraphim we LOVE Lapis! We think this beautiful blue stone is amazing.
Here are a few facts about Lapis:
Lapis has been mined for over 6,000 years!
It was very popular in both Jewelry and Sculpture in Ancient Egypt. The Assyrians and Babylonians used it for seals. Cleopatra used powdered Lapis for eyeshadow.
The "shiny gold stuff" you see in quality Lapis is pyrite.
Ancient peoples believes Lapis gave the wearer protection and had healing properties. The Ancient Egyptians buried their dead with a Lapis scarab.
Pretty cool stuff! Here at the store, we love the brilliant blue color and the flecks of gold in our Lapis Lazuli pendants, especially the ones with the Grade A Lapis.
Here are pictures of some pieces we are offering at the website or have sold in the past:
