Lapis Lazuli Study (Term 49) (Patreon)

This was a small study in prep for our next crystal gal we did on stream! While I wouldn't call it finished, I learned a ton about the properties of this little guy and maybe some of my insights could enlighten you too.

Studying lapis lazuli was a total 180 from the amethyst! Turns out this little stone isn't translucent at all. The colors that scatter the surface are incredibly vibrant blue with pale flecks of gold; when unpolished, these piece look like tiny trapped pieces of gold-leaf! Really beautiful - I had no idea how quickly I'd be falling in love with this one.

If you missed the livestream where we studied this, I'll be providing a timelapse of the start to finish process with January rewards!

Hope you all enjoy!
