 LAPIS LAZULI: derives its name from the Latin word "lapis" meaning "stone" and "lazuli" from the Arabic word "azula", meaning "blue". Lapis is regarded by many people around the world as the stone of friendship and truth. The blue stone is said to encourage harmony in relationships and help its wearer to be authentic and express one’s feelings and opinions openly.

"Block" Gemstone is the general term used to describe either a reconstituted or man-made reproduction which may or may not contain any natural byproduct or gemstone partials. The reference to "block" more often describes the process whereby a mixture of resins and dyes are combined to produce a loaf sized block suitable for carving small heshi beads and intricate pieces for inlay work.
