Good afternoon rock heads! Here's a recent wrap I did. Some grade "A" lapis wrapped in sterling. I got the Lapis from a serviceman stationed in Afghanistan so you know it's the good stuff... ;-)  As always... thanks for looking. Dan |

Lovely. Lapis (and most blue stones) are real favorites of us humans. Great wrap.

The shine on that Lapis is unreal! Some people would like to be able to put such a shine on agates.

Nice piece, love the color.
Is it true taliban or similar evil have taken the quarry over from its rightful owners?

I purchased the rough from a US serviceman stationed in Afghanistan who was buying from street vendors. 4 lbs for about $90. Beautiful material with very few inclusions of Calcite and only tiny specs of Pyrite. Dan |
