Description
FINE ULTRAMARINE BLUE LAPIS BOXHandcrafted in Italy
Stone source: Afghanistan
The finest grade of Afghani Lapis Lazuli was used to fashion this deep ultramarine blue box. Created from a single block of gem grade material, all four sides have been matched to the top as noted by the patterning created by the flecks of golden Pyrite crystals. The color is completely natural, an intense navy blue with deep violet highlights, and there are no distracting white calcite veins. The interior and bottom is black onyx and it is completed with a hinge of gold plated brass. Overall measurements are 5 1/3 x 3 3/8 x 1 9/16 inches and it is in excellent condition.
