Origin and Mineralogical Properties

Afghanistan has been considered one of the most important sources of high-quality lapis lazuli worldwide for thousands of years. The deposits in the mountain regions of this country yield pieces with an especially saturated, intensely blue color caused by the mineral lazurite. Golden inclusions of pyrite and white veins of calcite give each piece its unmistakable, natural character. At Crystal Paradise, these freeforms are carefully hand-selected, polished, and directly inspected – so that only genuine quality makes it into our range.

Caring for Your Lapis Lazuli Freeform

Lapis lazuli is a comparatively delicate rock that deserves careful care. The following points help preserve your stone's full beauty in the long term:

• Clean best with a soft, slightly damp cloth – no prolonged soaking in water
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemicals
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as it can slightly alter the color
• Store separately from harder minerals to prevent scratches
• For energetic cleansing, incense smoke, moonlight, or singing bowls are suitable
