At Indian Jewelry Supplies, we take pride in offering some of the finest natural Lapis cabochons available. Our carefully selected AA Grade Lapis displays the rich, deep blue hues that have made this gemstone a favorite of artisans and collectors for centuries. Many of our cabochons feature delicate flecks of golden pyrite, a hallmark of genuine Lapis Lazuli, giving each stone a night-sky sparkle that perfectly complements silver, gold, and copper jewelry designs.
Lapis Lazuli has been treasured since ancient times. It was one of the earliest gemstones used in Egyptian jewelry, set as inlay or cabochons the adornments of pharaohs and priests. Powdered Lapis was once used to create ultramarine pigment for royal paint and decoration, and has been found in the teeth of ancient people's remains who were painting or creating pigments for illuminated manuscripts and artwork. Across the world, it has symbolized wisdom, truth, and spiritual insight. In Native American jewelry, Lapis quickly became popular among silversmiths for its intense color and compatibility with Turquoise, Coral, and Onyx. Its striking blue makes it a wonderful centerpiece or accent in rings, bracelets, and inlay work.
The primary sources of Lapis Lazuli today include Afghanistan, Chile, and Russia, with Afghanistan's mines producing some of the most sought-after material known for its strong royal blue color and minimal calcite. This light colored host rock often mixes with the blue and lightening it and creating patterns. This type of Lapis is known as Denim Lapis because of its resemblance to Blue Jeans. Each region imparts its own character to the stone, some deeper and more uniform, others showing natural veining that highlights the stone's unique formation.
From a metaphysical perspective, Lapis is associated with clarity, communication, and protection. Wearing Lapis or surrounding your space with the stone should enhance self-expression and bring peace of mind, making it a favorite among artists, healers, and spiritual practitioners. For those who craft with meaning, Lapis cabochons are more than just gemstones; they are symbols of strength, vision, and truth.
