Handmade natural lapis lazuli bracelet from Afghanistan

Lapis lazuli, whose English name comes from the Latin Lapis (gemstone) and the Persian dialect Lazuli (blue) of Badakhshan, Afghanistan, is one of the oldest gemstones, with use dating back 6,000 years. In ancient China, it was called "chyou Lin", "Jin Jing", "Jin Yu", "Qing Dai", "Lanchi", etc., and Buddhism called it "Liuli" or "Veinu away", which is one of the witnesses of ancient Eastern and Western cultural exchanges. Lapis lazuli is a complex polycrystalline assemblage of minerals with dense massive and granular structure. Its main constituent minerals are lapis lazuli, and common biological minerals are calcite, pyrite, diopside, wollite, bluestone, sodalite, calcareous nepheline, mica and hornblende. The color of lapis lazuli is mostly dark blue, purple blue, sky blue, green blue, etc. Because of its color like the sky, ancient China regarded lapis Lazuli as a symbol of heaven's majesty and nobility, which was highly valued by emperors of all ages. At the same time, lapis lazuli is also one of the main sources of natural blue mineral pigments. Lapis lazuli in the selection of uniform color without cracks, fine texture without Venus is best, followed by no white sprinkle gold, sprinkle gold refers to the uniform distribution of Venus if the pyrite content is low, the surface does not appear Venus does not affect the quality. However, if the color of Venus is black, dark, or the calcite content is too much to form a large area of white spots on the surface, the value is greatly reduced. Lapis lazuli, turquoise and zircon are the birthstones of December.
