Lapis lazuli is a mixture of the minerals Lazurite, Sodalite, Calcite and Pyrite, with a predominance of Lazurite.
Lapis lazuli, due to its characteristic color of ultramarine blue, has been highly valued in jewelry since ancient times.
The rock includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the image)
Since the rocks are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The samples come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
