History & Material
Lapis lazuli has been valued since antiquity for its intense blue color and has long been used in decorative objects, jewelry, and works of art.
Historically associated with deposits in Afghanistan and Central Asia, lapis became especially prized in Europe when the stone was ground into ultramarine pigment. For centuries, ultramarine was one of the most expensive and sought-after blue pigments available and was reserved for important works of art.
Today, lapis remains prized for its unmistakable color, natural variation, and long decorative history.
