Lapis Lazuli Tower

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this crystal tower: Lapis Lazuli Tower (shop SKU LLT13).

Lapis lazuli is a deep-blue rock made mostly of lazurite, often flecked with golden pyrite. Afghanistan has been a classic source since antiquity. In crystal traditions, lapis is associated with truth and inner vision. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed.
