Lapis Lazuli Wire Wrap Pendant 2.05 Inch
Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest and most revered gemstones in human history, prized for over 6,000 years by the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Greeks, and Romans. It is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of lazurite, which gives it its characteristic deep blue color, along with calcite (white veining) and pyrite (golden flecks that resemble stars in the night sky). The finest Lapis Lazuli comes from the Sar-e-Sang mines in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan, where it has been mined continuously for over 6,000 years. Ancient Egyptians ground it into powder for eye shadow and pigment, and it was used to create the ultramarine blue in Renaissance paintings. This Lapis Lazuli Wire Wrap Pendant measures 2.05 inches and is handcrafted in healing copper wire.

Crystal Care
- Water: Remove before swimming or bathing. Lapis Lazuli is porous and can be damaged by water, and the copper wire will oxidize with water exposure.
- Sunlight: Limit extended direct sunlight to preserve the stone's color over time.
- Cleansing: Smudge with sage or palo santo, or place on a Selenite charging plate overnight. Avoid water-based cleansing.
- Copper care: The copper wire will naturally develop a patina over time. Polish with a soft cloth if preferred, or allow the patina to develop naturally.
