{"product_id":"half-drilled-lapis-lazuli-teardrop-cabochon-pairs-high-quality","title":"Half-drilled Lapis Lazuli Tear Drop Pair, High Quality","description":"\u003cp\u003eLapis Lazuli has been mined in the mountains of Afghanistan for more than 6,000 years. In fact, these mountains are home to the world's oldest known commercial gemstone mines. Lapis Lazuli's vivid blue was once prized as much as sapphire and was ground up to make blue pigment prior to the development of synthetic dyes. Lapis Lazuli is actually a rock, composed of several different minerals — lazurite, pyrite, and calcite — in varying amounts. Lazurite is responsible for the rich blue color, calcite produces white veins, and pyrite appears as gold flecks. The highest quality Lapis Lazuli displays a pure, vivid royal blue with no calcite or pyrite present. These high-quality teardrop cabochons are half-drilled and sold by the pair, making them ideal for earring and pendant projects. A great alternative for December birthstone jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality medium-dark to dark blue Lapis Lazuli with no calcite and very little pyrite present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf-drilled teardrop cabochon pairs — ready for post or peg settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold by the pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreatment: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat alternative for December birthstone designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Clean with warm, soapy water only — avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStone Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLapis Lazuli\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTeardrop (Briolette)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrill Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalf-drilled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuality\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh quality — medium-dark to dark blue, no calcite, very little pyrite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTreatment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold As\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarm soapy water only; no ultrasonic or steam cleaners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e928-H20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10x6mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e928-H25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17x10mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Otto Frei","offers":[{"title":"10x6mm","offer_id":47551793266902,"sku":"928-H20","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"17x10mm","offer_id":47551793299670,"sku":"928-H25","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/half-drilled-lapis-lazuli-tear-drop-pair-high-quality-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719954624","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/half-drilled-lapis-lazuli-teardrop-cabochon-pairs-high-quality","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
