£ 22.08
LAPIS LAZULI WORRY STONE / PALM STONE – NATURAL BLUE LAZURITE ROCKThis Lapis Lazuli Worry Stone, also known as a palm stone, is a genuine natural
lapis specimen carefully shaped and polished to enhance its rich royal blue colour and characteristic mineral inclusions. The photograph shows the exact piece you will receive, selected for colour quality, pattern, and finish. Full sizing details are available in the listing photos. Your specimen includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming it as an authentic natural mineral example. MINERAL COMPOSITION & CLASSIFICATIONLapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock rather than a single mineral. Its primary blue component is lazurite, a complex sodium calcium aluminosilicate sulphur mineral belonging to the sodalite group. Lazurite crystallises in the cubic crystal system.In addition to lazurite, lapis lazuli commonly contains calcite (white veining or patches) and pyrite (metallic golden flecks). The presence and proportion of these associated minerals contribute to the overall appearance and quality of the stone. High-quality lapis typically displays an intense ultramarine to deep royal blue colour with fine, evenly distributed pyrite inclusions.Lapis lazuli generally measures around 5–5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale and has a vitreous to slightly greasy lustre when polished. APPEARANCE & OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICSThis polished palm stone showcases the natural deep blue tones that have made lapis lazuli highly valued for thousands of years. The surface may display shimmering golden pyrite inclusions, which contrast beautifully against the blue lazurite matrix. White or pale grey calcite streaks may also be present, reflecting the natural geological composition of the rock.The smooth, curved palm stone shape enhances both colour and pattern, providing a broad surface area for display. When rotated in light, the pyrite inclusions may subtly catch and reflect light, adding depth and visual interest. WORRY STONE / PALM STONE SHAPEShaped into a comfortable palm stone form, this lapis lazuli piece fits naturally in the hand. The polished finish enhances the stone’s colour saturation and reveals its internal mineral structure. The curved edges and smooth surface make it suitable for display, handling, or inclusion in a mineral collection.Each palm stone is carved from solid lapis rock, ensuring that every specimen has a unique distribution of lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION & SOURCESLapis lazuli forms through contact metamorphism, where limestone undergoes transformation due to heat and pressure from nearby igneous intrusions. During this process, lazurite and associated minerals crystallise within the host rock.Historically significant deposits are found in Afghanistan, particularly in the Badakhshan region, which has been a source of lapis for over 6,000 years. Additional sources include Chile and parts of Russia. The geological conditions in these regions allow the formation of lazurite-rich rock with characteristic pyrite inclusions. HISTORICAL & TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONSLapis lazuli has been prized since antiquity for ornamental carvings, jewellery, and pigment production. Ground lapis was historically used to create ultramarine pigment in fine art. In various cultures, it has been traditionally associated with wisdom and symbolic significance. These interpretations are cultural and spiritual rather than scientific. IDEAL FOR COLLECTORS & DISPLAYThis Lapis Lazuli Palm Stone makes an elegant addition to any mineral collection or decorative display. Its deep blue colour and natural golden inclusions provide strong visual contrast, suitable for desks, shelves, cabinets, or curated crystal arrangements.You will receive the exact specimen shown in the photographs, securely packaged and presented with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee card. A genuine lapis lazuli mineral carving, selected for quality, colour, and craftsmanship.
