Lapis Lazuli

Along with malachite, Lapis Lazuli is one of the first treasured stones of human kind, and has been mined for over 7,000 years. Its name stems from the Latin word "lapis" meaning stone and from the Arabic word "azula" meaning blue. This treasured blue stone can be found throughout many ancient civilizations. Before a synthetic substitute was created, it was often ground and used as a pigment, making blue paint, "Ultramarine" the most expensive and valuable paint available. For this reason, blue paint was most often reserved for royalty and holy figures such as the Madonna. Much of the worlds Lapis Lazuli is mined from mountains in northern Afghanistan.

Description:	This superior quality Chinese turquoise exhibits top color and matrix qualities. These beads were hand picked by our buyers at the Tucson gem show to ensure you receive only the finest turquoise at incredible prices. Turquoise has been a highly popular semi-precious gem to many societies from the Egyptians to the Aztecs since ancient times. Turquoise is a very porous material, so heat, light, oils, and chemicals can have a negative effect on the stones color and luster. Because of this trait, most turquoise on today's jewelry market has been treated or "stabilized" with a plastic resin. Turquoise is most popular in southwestern fashions. Use turquoise beads with sterling silver beads findings, as well as heishi shells.
