Lapis Lazuli Drilled Sphere Bead, Petite Round Stone

Deep blue lapis lazuli in a petite drilled round, ready to string on a cord or add to a crystal grid. Buy one, or choose the set of five for a project.

Each sphere is drilled through, so it works as a large focal bead on a necklace, a key ring or a long knotted strand, or as a small round stone set out on its own. Lapis is a natural stone, so the depth of blue, the amount of white veining and any gold flecks differ from one bead to the next, and sizes vary within the range listed below. A set of five gives you a small group for a statement necklace, a gift bundle or a grid layout.

About Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a blue metamorphic rock, not a single mineral, used for thousands of years as a gem, a carving stone and a pigment. Its blue comes from lazurite, and white calcite veins and golden pyrite flecks are common. Afghanistan is the leading source. It is fairly soft, about 5 on the Mohs scale, and much commercial lapis is dyed and waxed to even out its color.

Stone Meaning: Lapis lazuli is traditionally associated with wisdom and truth.
