Blue lapis lazuli stud earrings, semi precious stone sterling silver handmade
Although lapis is considered to be a rock it does have a small amount of minerals imbedded into it, the most common and desirable being pyrite. Pyrite, or fool's gold as it is commonly known, gives some lapis stones a gold speckled appearance, which in the right ratio is highly sought after by many collectors.

The beautiful canvas of the deep blue lapis and the presence of stunning pyrite specs inspired Southwest tribes to incorporate the gemstone into magnificent lapis rings.
Its deep, celestial blue remains the symbol of royalty and honor, gods and power, spirit and vision. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth. In ancient times Lapis Lazuli was most highly regarded because of its beautiful color and the valuable ultramarine dye derived from it.
