Rhodochrosite & Lapis Box
Stone Source: Argentina & Afghanistan

This cubic box has a unique and chic square shape which highlights the checkerboard patterning found on all faces. The box is made up of bright blue Lapis from Afghanistan and deep red Rhodochrosite from Argentina. Each side has been book-matched, and the lid opens with a gold-plated piano hinge to reveal a stark black stone inlay. These two primary colors work together to make this a statement piece that really pops.
