• Deep blue is one of the most universally flattering colours in home decor — works in classic, modern, and eclectic interiors.

Lapis Lazuli Chips, Glass, Frame

Genuine lapis lazuli chips arranged into a Tree of Life design behind glass in a ready-made frame. Lapis is a deep blue metamorphic rock composed primarily of lazurite, with calcite (white) and pyrite (gold) inclusions. The golden flecks are iron pyrite — part of the stone, not added decoration. Natural variation in every piece. Dimensions: 20 x 14.7 x 1 cm.

Placement and Care

Stand on a shelf, desk, or windowsill. The deep blue reads well against both light and dark backgrounds. Wipe the glass with a soft cloth. Lapis is colour-stable and does not fade in sunlight.

About Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli has been mined in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan for over 6,000 years. Ancient Egyptians used it in Tutankhamun's death mask. Renaissance painters ground it into the pigment ultramarine — the most expensive blue in European art history. The stone remains one of the most recognisable and culturally significant gem materials in the world.

Worth Wrapping

The richest colour option in the range — a standout gift for anyone who loves deep blue, art history, or gemstones with a story stretching back millennia.

Common Questions

What are the golden flecks in lapis lazuli?
Iron pyrite — a natural inclusion in the stone. The gold-on-blue effect is one of the defining features of genuine lapis.

Is lapis lazuli a single mineral?
No. It is a metamorphic rock composed mainly of lazurite (the blue), with calcite (white veining) and pyrite (golden flecks).

Will the blue be consistent across the canopy?
The shade varies — some chips deeper blue, some lighter, some with more visible pyrite. This variation is natural and adds visual interest.
