Desk orgonite — Lapis lazuli

A piece of hand-cast resin, holding stone chips and copper spirals set in the block.

An intense ultramarine blue studded with golden pyrite, sometimes with veils of white calcite.

Symbolic reading. The stone of the pharaohs and of the lapis lazuli of Ur, tradition links it to knowledge and inner truth.

In practice. A decorative object for a desk, a shelf or an altar. The resin scratches: dust with a soft cloth, no product.

• The Afghan deposits have been worked for more than six thousand years; it is the original pigment of ultramarine blue.
• Finish: orgonite base
• A natural piece: shade, veining and dimensions vary from one example to the next

A decorative object for personal practice. It is no substitute for medical advice or treatment.
