Fabulous Raw Lapis Lazuli stone 36" Sterling necklace with sterling nuggets

Gorgeous Lapis lazuli stones with sterling silver and blue beads on a fabulous sterling chain measuring 36" in total. This stone's two-part name comes from two different cultures: lapis is a Latin word meaning "stone," while lazuli comes from the Persian word lazhuward, meaning "blue." It is not an element nor a mineral--it is a rock containing multiple minerals: lazurite, diopside, calcite, pyrite and more. Lapis lazuli is believed to promote relaxation and alleviate anxiety, calming the nervous system and reducing stress levels.
