Snowflake Lapis 40mm Square Donut - Pendant

Snowflake Lapis has the same blue color and gold inclusions as Lapis as well as a marbling of white throughout the stone. Lapis is a semi to precious stone and one of the most sought after throughout history. It is highly regarded for its beautiful blue color flecked with gold inclusions of pyrite, and was prized in ancient times for the ultramarine dye derived from it. This dye was said to create Michelangelo’s favorite shade of blue. It is one of the world’s oldest known stones, mined since 4000 BCE, originally from the Lapis to Lazuli mine in Afghanistan.
