Lapis lazuli is a metamorphic rock composed mainly of lazurite, calcite and pyrite, recognisable by its deep blue colour, often flecked with golden inclusions. These polished freeform pieces showcase the stone's natural features whilst offering a smooth, refined finish. Polishing reveals the intensity of the blue colour characteristic of this mineral, whilst softening the stone's contours for a harmonious result.

Lapis lazuli is mined mainly in Afghanistan, home to the most renowned historic deposits, as well as in Chile and Russia. The quality of the stone is generally assessed according to the intensity and uniformity of its blue colour, as well as the quantity and distribution of pyrite and calcite inclusions.

These polished lapis lazuli freeforms are suited to decorative use, whether as a collector's piece, an interior decoration element, or an item for mineral enthusiasts. Their varied shapes and sizes make them easy to display in different settings, whether on a shelf, a desk, or in a cabinet dedicated to natural stones. The diversity of sizes and patterns available within this collection allows for a piece to be chosen according to personal aesthetic preference. Each freeform is a unique specimen, reflecting the natural geological processes that have shaped this mineral over time. This collection is suited to both experienced collectors and those new to the world of minerals, offering a representative glimpse into the distinctive qualities of lapis lazuli in its polished form.
