Lapis Lazuli 280gr: Ultramarine Gemstone Rough
In stock: 1-3 business days
Lapis lazuli has shaped art, culture, and craftsmanship for over 6,000 years.
From Egyptian burial masks & Mesopotamian seals to Renaissance ultramarine pigment, this stone carries a legacy of depth and brilliance. Its signature ultramarine blue comes from lazurite, layered with natural calcite and pyrite for striking contrast.
You’re not just polishing a rock.
You’re working with the same material ancient artisans used to leave their mark—whether in gemstones, carvings, or the world’s most valuable pigment.
Natural rough stone with deep color and dense structure, ready for shaping, polishing, and finishing into bold cabochons. It cuts clean, holds form under pressure, and finishes with rich surface detail: pyrite shimmer, matrix patterns, and that unmistakable lapis glow.
For pigment makers, lapis has long been the source of true ultramarine. These stones grind down into a rich, enduring pigment prized by Renaissance painters and still sought today by artists pursuing traditional color preparation.
Whether you’re refining your cabbing skills, testing pigment extraction, or building up studio inventory, this material offers reliability, beauty, and a direct link to one of the most iconic minerals in history.
