Color & Appearance

Lapis Lazuli is instantly recognizable by its deep royal blue to ultramarine color, often compared to a star-filled night sky. In this piece, the intense blue base is beautifully accented with natural golden flecks of pyrite, which shimmer like scattered stardust. Soft white or grayish patterns of calcite may also appear, adding uniqueness to each bead and confirming its natural origin.

No two beads are exactly alike—each carries its own story, texture, and pattern, making this bracelet truly one of a kind.

⚠️ 

Drawbacks & Care Considerations

While Lapis Lazuli is a powerful and beautiful gemstone, it does require mindful care:

• Moderate Hardness
  With a hardness of about 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale, it can scratch or chip if handled roughly.
• Sensitive to Chemicals & Water
  Should not be exposed to harsh cleaners, perfumes, or prolonged water contact.
• Natural Inclusions
  Calcite veins or uneven coloring are natural features, not flaws—but may not appeal to those seeking perfectly uniform stones.

To maintain its beauty, clean gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and store separately from harder gemstones.
