Chunky Lapis Lazuli Pendant

This is a chunky monkey piece of lapis lazuli 20mm at the top widening asymetrically down to 38mm, 40mm long and 5mm deep.
The Sumerians believed that the spirit of their gods lived within the stone, while the ancient Egyptians saw it as a symbol of the night sky. Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with strength and courage, royalty and wisdom, intellect and truth.
Hung on a 18 inch black cotton cord.
