Mined from: Madagascar
Description: These Lazurite mini hearts from Madagascar pack a punch of deep celestial blue into a tiny, polished form. Lazurite is the primary mineral responsible for the rich color in lapis lazuli, and in these pieces, it takes center stage—uninterrupted by pyrite or calcite, offering a more concentrated, velvety blue hue. Shaped into charming heart forms, these mini stones are smooth to the touch and perfect for carrying, gifting, or using in grid work. Their size makes them irresistibly collectible, while their color evokes the ancient skies and royal pigments of antiquity.
Lazurite is a complex feldspathoid mineral with the chemical formula (Na,Ca)₈(AlSiO₄)₆(S,SO₄,Cl)₂, and it's typically found in metamorphosed limestone. These Madagascan specimens are notable for their clarity and intensity of color—often rivaling those from the historically famous Afghan deposits. Lazurite’s rich ultramarine tone was once so prized that it was ground into pigment for use in Renaissance masterpieces, making it a stone not only of geological interest but of deep cultural legacy.
In the metaphysical world, Lazurite is associated with inner vision, wisdom, and truth. It’s said to stimulate the third eye and promote clarity of thought, helping one connect to higher knowledge and deeper understanding. These mini hearts may be small, but they carry the bold energy of a stone long revered for its connection to both the cosmos and the self.
