Lapis Lazuli Palmstone | 6cm | Afghanistan

Lapis Lazuli Palmstone | 6cm | Afghanistan A beautifully polished Lapis Lazuli palmstone from the Madani mines of Afghanistan, shaped into a satisfying disc form that sits perfectly in the palm. The blue on this piece is deep and rich, and the Pyrite inclusions are exceptionally clear and bright — sharp metallic gold against the royal blue matrix, exactly what you want from fine Afghan Lapis. One piece, sold as seen. Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock rather than a single mineral, formed when limestone is transformed by intense heat and pressure in contact with igneous intrusions. Its colour comes primarily from Lazurite, a sodalite-group mineral, and the gold flecks are natural Pyrite — iron sulphide — that crystallises within the matrix during metamorphism. The white veining, where present, is Calcite. The Madani mines in Afghanistan have been producing Lapis Lazuli for over 6,000 years and remain the source of the finest material in the world, prized for its intense, saturated blue and well-distributed Pyrite. Long associated with royalty, truth, and wisdom, Lapis Lazuli resonates with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, supporting clear communication, self-expression, and deeper intuitive awareness. Origin: Madani mines, Afghanistan Size: Approximately 6cm Crystal meaning: Truth, wisdom, clarity, communication Water cleanse: Not recommended. Cleanse with moonlight, sound, or smoke instead.
