Lapis Lazuli Fruit Dish

Material: Natural Lapis Lazuli (Lazurite with Calcite + Pyrite) Dimensions: Approx. 10 inches Finish: Hand-carved, smoothly contoured interior Origin: Afghanistan Pantone Color Reference: 19-3953 TCX Deep Ultramarine – primary blue body, 14-4103 TCX Gray Dawn – calcite veining, 16-0836 TCX Rich Gold – scattered pyrite flecks A hand-shaped lapis lazuli dish carved from a single block of stone. The form is wide and low, with softened edges and an organically sloped interior—made for display rather than precision symmetry. The stone shows deep ultramarine blue, layered with natural grey bands and subtle pyrite specks throughout. The patterning runs in long, linear waves, giving the piece a grounded, geological presence. The polish is smooth and muted, highlighting the natural transitions between blue, grey, and gold. At ten inches, it sits comfortably as a centrepiece—substantial without being imposing. Suitable for holding fruit, keys, small objects, or simply placed on its own as a sculptural accent. A functional object with a strong mineral identity—quiet, heavy, and visually distinct.
