This luxurious double terminated point is polished with dazzling specks of pyrite and a winding river of white calcite. Lapis is one of my favorite stones.

There is so much more yet to be discovered and it's intensely exciting. This high spirited soul comes from Afghanistan and has lots of secrets to reveal.
