8ST409-B: Lapis Lazuli B Grade Round 8mm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Lapis lazuli in a classic 8mm round — this is the deep, inky blue stone that's been prized for thousands of years, now available in a B grade that gives you honest, natural variation at a friendlier price point.
B grade lapis lazuli carries the characteristic midnight blue of the stone alongside natural inclusions, calcite veining, and pyrite flecks that vary bead to bead — no two are identical, and that's the point.
String them into chunky single-strand necklaces and bracelets where the 8mm size reads boldly, or mix them into multi-strand designs alongside gold-toned metals to let the natural pyrite in the stone do the visual work. They're also a solid choice for knotted gemstone malas where the slight variation between beads adds to the handmade character.

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.
