EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of lapis lazuli, a truly rare and mesmerizing gemstone. Known for its deep blue hue, lapis lazuli is a complex mineral that contains a unique blend of blue lazurite, white calcite, and traces of other minerals. Its formation occurs in silica-poor igneous rocks and metamorphic limestones, making it even more extraordinary. Originating from Afghanistan, Siberia, Iran, and Chile, this precious stone has captivated humans for centuries. In ancient times, it was highly revered as the source of the vibrant blue pigment known as ultramarine. Artists throughout history have utilized this pigment to create stunning works of art that still astound us today. The intricate patterns seen within this particular piece are reminiscent of an abstract painting created by nature itself. The contrasting shades of blue intermingled with streaks of white give it an ethereal quality that is simply breathtaking. As we gaze upon this print from Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of the geological wonders found on our planet but also how something as seemingly ordinary as a rock can possess such extraordinary beauty. Lapis lazuli serves as a reminder that there is so much more to discover about our world and its hidden treasures beneath the surface.
