A carved figure in one of the oldest blues in the lapidary tradition.
This angel is hand-carved from solid lapis lazuli—the lazurite-calcite-pyrite aggregate that has defined deep blue in jewelry and art since antiquity. Carving lapis requires skill: at Mohs 5 to 6 it is workable, but the mixed mineral composition means the carver must account for variable hardness across the stone surface. The finished figure shows the natural color variation of the material: darker planes where lazurite concentrates, lighter areas where calcite intervenes, and occasional pyrite glints. Afghan and Chilean material is the standard for carved lapis.
Carved lapis lazuli figures have been found in burial sites throughout the ancient Near East. In contemporary lapidary tradition, the angel form is made as a focal piece for a meditation space or shelf altar. The stone is placed in the third-eye and throat chakra tradition.
A substantial carved piece—kept on a shelf, given as a considered gift, or used as the anchor of a collection.
Every crystal is hand-picked for exceptional beauty, quality and energetic integrity, then vortex-charged in Sedona’s sacred energy. This process infuses each piece with a high-frequency presence, delivering a crystal experience that feels as powerful as it looks.
