FREE: Loose Stone Lapis lazuli 15.35 ct.

The listing, Loose Stone Lapis lazuli 15.35 ct. has ended.

I have a loose stone ready to be mounted, Lapis 15.35 ct. 18X13mm. It is in a Checkerboard Cut. The pictures are not as fine as I would like, but the best I could get. This stone is very large and would make a nice necklace.
Lapis may contain up to 15 minerals, but its main mineral is lazurite, a member of the sodalite group. The white color comes from calcite content, the blue from sodalite and the glittery gold from pyrite. It has a Mohs scale hardness of 5.0 to 5.5. This is a fairly soft stone so does not lend its self well to being set in a ring, unless you are extremely careful.

I do not have a Pay Pal account set up yet, so you would have to use money order to pay. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause.
