5cm - 6cm Lapis Lazuli is a semiprecious stone that is commonly used in jewelry and decor all over the world. It is a metamorphic mineral who's composition is variable. Very frequently, Lapis has Pyrite inclusions in it. This semiprecious stone gets its color from the deep blue Lazurite in it (also found in sodalite). Lapis is found in the mines Badakshan, northeastern Afghanistan, and those near Ovalle, Chile. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

45mm Lapis lazuli forms near igneous interferances where limestone or marble has been altered by contact metamorphism or hydrothermal metamorphism. In these rocks, lazurite replaces portions of the host rock and often develops within certain bands or layers which can include other minerals such as pyrite and white calcite. Lapis Lazuli is mostly found in Afghanistan but can also be found in Chile, Russia, Canada, Argentina, Pakistan, and the US. Within the US, these stones can be found in Colorado, California, and Arizona. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***
